An intimate, visually inventive exploration of anxiety and vulnerability that centers emotional honesty and human connection over superhero spectacle.

After a particularly challenging day, Miles experiences a panic attack that forces him to confront the manifestations of his anxiety and learn that reaching out for help can be just as brave an act as protecting his city from evil.
