Plot
Casey decides that things need to change after he's attacked on the street, so he signs up for a self-defense course. As he comes to terms with how utterly meek he's been living his life, he's also presented with a whole new way of living his life that's built to be empowering. But each step towards masculinity draws him deeper into a culture of bizarre behaviors and assumptions. And when Casey begins to question the assertions of his mentor, he finds himself a target of this cult of personality. Standing up for himself might mean turning his back on the very man who gave him confidence.
