In this poignant drama, a man receives the devastating news that he has terminal cancer, prompting him to reassess his life and relationships. Seeking redemption and a deeper connection with his son, he takes custody of the troubled teenager who harbors an intense dislike for the world and its inhabitants. The boy, grappling with anger and alienation, partakes in risky behaviors such as drug use and small-time prostitution to numb the pain, while actively avoiding his father.

This heartfelt exploration delves into themes of forgiveness, acceptance, and the enduring power of love in the face of adversity, ultimately revealing the transformative potential hidden within even the most challenging of family dynamics.
