In a world weighed down by loneliness and academic struggle, sixteen-year-old Sam finds solace in the deceptive comfort of drugs. As he spirals deeper into addiction, the chains of his despair tighten around him, threatening to consume his future. His escape from reality becomes a prison of its own. However, Sam’s journey takes an extraordinary turn when he is visited by his future self, who arrives through a tear in time. This future version of Sam is a reflection of the man he could become if he continues down his current path—a shadow of his potential self, burdened and broken by addiction.
