Things takes a sudden turn when Leo has to stand in for an engineer and give a
presentation in a small rural community. There, Leo is swept away by Lou, a
distressed young woman who takes him beyond the beaten track. This
encounter spells a new beginning for Leo, a strange, chaotic journey filled with
unexpected twists and turns.
But who knows what really festers deep inside this apparently harmless office
worker?
No one knows. Not even Leo.
Especially not Leo…
