Plot

Henry Johnson (Evan Jonigkeit), a reserved and seemingly ordinary man, finds his sense of self tested when he crosses paths with Gene (Shia LaBeouf), a dominant and enigmatic figure who takes a keen interest in him. What begins as mentorship soon blurs into psychological manipulation, with Gene drawing Henry into a web of ambiguous motives and shifting power dynamics. Set within a stark institutional environment, the film unfolds through taut dialogue and minimalistic staging, exploring themes of agency, loyalty, and identity while echoing its theatrical origins.
