Calvin, shaped by a traumatic childhood marked by his mother's emotional distance and suicide, navigates life with a cynical charm that masks his deep-seated pain. After losing both his loving father, and his empathetic friend, Riley, he spirals into darkness, increasingly detached from the people around him.
In need of connection, he befriends Opal but finds himself spiraling further into manipulation and despair as he encounters a series of troubled girls. Calvin believes he's offering them an escape from their suffering, driven by a god complex that distorts his view of saving versus harming. As he grapples with the consequences of his actions, Calvin is forced to confront the blurred lines between his intentions and the tragic outcomes, ultimately leading him to question the morality of his choices and the depths of his own grief.
