Plot

In the heart of a world that's grown unrecognizable, ex-convict Russ Millings emerges from the steel bars of prison, having served two decades for a minor marijuana offense. His release thrusts him into an alien reality that seems to dance behind a glass, moving to a rhythm he no longer understands. His life becomes a series of mechanical tasks, human interaction a distant and terrifying memory. Parole finds him flipping burgers in a nondescript joint, where one fateful night, a discarded baby in a dumpster stumbles into his life. Torn between newfound tenderness and sheer panic, Russ must navigate the unfamiliar terrain of fatherhood. This abandoned infant, as lost and unaware as himself, begins to melt his frost-ridden heart, offering a connection that feels eerily human. Emboldened by this unexpected bond, Russ ventures out of his emotional fortress, embarking on a journey to rediscover his forgotten identity. He attempts to piece together the fragments of his 'before' life, when he was more than a prison number - when he was Russky, a man with a name, a son with a past. In this poignant journey of self-discovery, Russ learns to embrace his humanity once more, proving that it's never too late to rewrite one's story.
