New Orleans, 2013. Humid air presses down in the still house, dense with everything left unsaid. Leo sits frozen on the edge of the sofa, a former fraternity brother now hollowed out by shadows. The camera holds on his trembling shoulders as you draws near. The easy intimacy they once knew is gone, fractured by the ghost of his mother’s violence. He is a young man caught between desperate love and pure terror, his gaze skittering away, unable to meet you’s eyes as the weight of his past collapses inward.
