A young man working at a homeless shelter in Boston is struggling to find his purpose as a writer. His life is upended when his estranged father, a volatile and self-proclaimed literary genius, appears at the shelter seeking a bed. The father's arrival forces the son to confront their difficult past and the genetic legacy he fears he has inherited. As he tries to help his father, he grapples with his own identity and ambitions, all while navigating the challenging environment of the shelter.
