Francis is a man at the end of his tether. The former magician often takes solace in the bottle and barely ekes a living as a cleaner in a nightclub. He has a 10-year-old son he desperately loves, but sorrow, guilt, and constant inebriation have made him an ineffectual father. The son, in contrast, is a stoic old soul who has learned to bury his affection for his old man, and to cope with his chaotic life.
A broken spirit and a single parent, Francis hopes to redeem himself and win his son's love and respect. He makes a painful - and bizarre - return to magic. An unexpected incident one night sets father and son on the road. In a dilapidated building, these two wounded souls come to terms with their love that is as deep and acute as their grief.
