His daily routine consists of casual encounters, pornography, and solo acts of self-satisfaction, all of which serve as temporary escapes from his emotional emptiness.
However, everything changes when his younger sister, Sissy, unexpectedly shows up and asks to stay with him. Sissy is desperate for emotional support, having experienced her own tumultuous past. Her arrival disrupts Brandon's carefully constructed world, stirring up painful memories from their shared upbringing.
