A tense, melancholic coming-of-age drama about a grieving teenager whose forced outing triggers a cascade of social violence and self-reckoning.

Tim, a shy 16-year-old athlete with a natural gift for running, is dealing with the loss of his mother, as well as his sexuality. After a personal video is posted to social media, Tim's private life is about to explode into the public eye.
