Following a tough divorce, 40-year-old Lucas has a new girlfriend, a new job and is in the process of reestablishing his relationship with his teenage son, Marcus. But things go awry.

Soon, the small community finds itself in a collective state of hysteria, while Lucas fights a lonely fight for his life and dignity.
