A dark, grief-stricken exploration of how a senseless tragedy fractures two families and sets them on a collision course with revenge and moral reckoning.

Two fathers' lives intersect when one of them is involved in a terrible and sudden hit-and-run car accident that leaves the other's son dead. In response, the two men react in unexpected ways as a reckoning looms in the near future.
