In a world where shadows lurk and danger is a constant companion, eighteen-year-old Yeager finds himself on the run, pursued by men in black suits who demand his return to a life he desperately wants to escape. As rain pours down, masking his pain and fear, he grapples with the scars of his past and the weight of his family's expectations. With each step, he fights against the inevitable, determined to carve out his own destiny, even as he faces betrayal and violence.
