A raw, slow-burn character study that immerses you in urban precarity and self-destruction, with moments of dark humour and tenderness.

How it feels: Dark, melancholic, cynical and earnest. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Addiction, identity, isolation, class
Content: Strong sexual content and language. Mild violence. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
