"A drama that shows a young queer man’s journey of dealing with his challenging inner demons.” - Out in Jersey
After a self-destructive accident tied to depression, Cole is mandated to attend therapy, triggering a difficult but transformative period of self-reflection. As he works on his mental health and continues modeling, he meets Jackson and struggles to let intimacy in without letting his pain run the room. The film uses evocative underwater imagery as an emotional metaphor, building toward a story about learning to accept love, and to believe you deserve it.
