This unchecked temper led to disaster, as Francis not only accidentally killed someone, but also lost his child in a tragedy. Now, a destitute Francis returns to his hometown with his girlfriend—this painful place he has never been able to let go of. He hopes to regain his strength and find new meaning in life here.
