A young boy lies awake at night waiting for his drunken dad to come home. Listening to his mom's sobs, the boy imagines himself the hero, rescuing the father from his drinking buddies and bringing him home. When the father finally comes home for real, instead of relief, the boy is filled with dread. This film shows how a child tries to cope with parental addiction and conflict.
