Twenty years after his father's death, Chris, a film editor in New York, reflects on the weight of his grief and how it has evolved since he was a teenager. Through fragmented recollections—his 17th birthday, a voice on an answering machine, and the quiet ache of his mother’s annual text—he explores how loss lingers, shaping both the present and the past. He soon realizes that in order to face his trauma once and for all, he must go deeper than ever before.
