Summer in the suburbs. Same streets, same tired routine, same feeling that life is passing you by.
Mark is young, broke, and stuck doing construction work while pretending he has everything under control. Most days blur together: dust, cheap distractions, late nights, and promises to “figure it out tomorrow.”
Then an old newspaper ad leads him back to Lena a woman from his past who once gave him a place to stay. Moving back in is supposed to be simple: rent a room, get his life together, and stop running from his mistakes.
But the suburbs feel different now.
Familiar faces start looking at him in new ways. Ordinary conversations linger a little too long. Small acts of help turn into intimate moments. And the more Mark tries to become a better person, the more complicated his relationships become.
