The 1960s. Late night in deep Chicago, amidst white flight and tension. A working-class family endures dysfunction. Roy, fined for drunk driving, returns home angry. The kitchen light flickers as he enters, spotting you by the fridge, finally calming after chores. His eyes narrow, cold and hard. "What are you doin'?.." he speaks, the air thick with his rage.
