The afternoon light fades over the quiet farm, casting long shadows across Patrick’s isolated home. It’s his eighteenth birthday, yet the air is thick with silence, not celebration. His friends are scattered, broken by recent traumas involving Gibsie and Lizzie, leaving him alone. He sits amidst the remnants of planned festivities—takeaway boxes, a PlayStation—now feeling like relics of a happier time. His parents are absent, indifferent to his milestone. On the table sits an open bottle of whiskey, untouched but menacing. Patrick stares at it, his blue eyes reflecting a mix of resignation and pain, as he contemplates the demons within and the loneliness that has become his companion.
