A darkly comedic dramedy about a man's simultaneous professional and personal collapse, exploring isolation and the indifference of those around him.

Victor is a legal advisor who finds himself abandoned by his wife and fired the same day. He tries to seek comfort from different friends and family members, but everyone he meets is concerned with their own problems. His morale begins to falter when he realizes that no one cares about him.
