A man wanders into a seemingly deserted town with his young son in search of work. But after a bit of bad luck, he joins the town's population of lost souls.

Shadows stretch long across a desolate, dreamlike landscape where the line between reality and a purgatorial trap begins to blur. This surreal noir captures the quiet desperation of a man losing his grip on the world alongside his young son.
