A gritty character study of a volatile drifter seeking redemption through an unlikely connection, caught between self-destructive impulses and the possibility of change.

Rick is frustrated by the repetitious grind of one-night stands and aimless hustling. Whilst looking for more to his life he meets Heather, a neighbour. Rick takes the opportunity to escape his boring life style with her, but soon finds that his volatile behaviour threatens to finish their relationship before it even really begins.
