A tense, intimate psychological drama set in a mental institution where two teenage boys navigate isolation, connection, and the blurred line between antagonism and attraction.

Jonah is proud to be the loner at the teenage mental health clinic, taking pleasure in making the other patients uncomfortable. But when he is forced to share a room with the newly admitted Richard, the boys become locked in a battle of wills.
