The film centers around two brothers, Damian and his older sibling Anthony. Their personalities starkly contrast; while Anthony is driven by a desire for wealth and attention, Damian takes a different path influenced by his admiration for good deeds following their mother’s passing. He secretly believes that she might be a saint.

After relocating to a new housing development, Damian finds joy in creating a small fort out of cardboard boxes. One fateful day, a duffel bag filled with cash crashes into his fort as a high-speed train rushes by. Anthony seizes the moment, showing the windfall to Damian, who interprets this as a divine blessing.
