Junior – a young man on the brink of fatherhood – wakes up in a vast, empty void, his body bound by rusty, corroded chains. Determined to break free, he soon realises he’s not alone. At the other end of the chain sits his estranged father, Norman – a man who knows this place all too well. Over the years, Norman has grown comfortable in his confinement, polishing his chain until it gleams, taking pride in what holds him captive.

What follows is a reckoning: the only way out is through brutal honesty, painful memories, and the hard conversations they’ve both avoided for years. As father and son confront the choices that shackled them, the chain between them takes on new meaning – no longer just metal and rust, but the echo of an umbilical cord that once gave life and now denies freedom. To break it is to face the inevitable truth of growing up: that every son must, in time, cut the cord, and in doing so, learn how to stand as his own man.
