A darkly comedic family drama about ambition, deception, and the corrosive effects of social resentment on love and trust.

Tormented with his 'under-privileged' societal status, a father capitalizes on his son's newfound fame as a boy-genius. Little does he realize that the secret he harbors will destroy the very thing he loves the most.
