Spoilers ahead

The film follows a quiet, unsettling bond between David Lamb and a teenage girl named Tommie, set against the backdrop of a city that feels heavy with loss and a countryside that carries its own tense quiet. The story begins with David visiting his sick and dying father, Walter Lamb, only to return to his motel room and face the moment of his father’s death. After the funeral, he finds himself in a stark, depressive corner of Chicago, where a chance encounter with Tommie—who is sent by her friends to ask him for a cigarette—pulls him into a dangerous, if compelling, game.
