Following the recent death of his once-famous musician father from a heroin overdose, Finn spirals into his own battle with drug addiction. After losing both his band and his fiancé, Finn must face his first love and recent enemy: music, to claw his way back from a tormenting disease and ultimately forgive his father.


Told via two ambiguous timelines — Finn’s past and present — Finn i​s a story that reminds us that sometimes confronting the past means reflecting on the beauty of the present.
