A dark, introspective crime thriller that uses a young cop's internal struggle with tinnitus as a metaphor for the psychological toll of trauma and investigation.

The community reels after an incident on a suburban train. A young cop, beset with doubt and afflicted with tinnitus, is pitched into the chaos that follows this tragic event. He struggles to clear the noises in his head while all around him deal with the after burn of the crime.
