It’s an average Friday night in California for 18 year old Zaid and his bitter father as they both prepare for their night shifts at very different jobs. During the day, Zaid takes care of his Sido (grandfather) who has Alzheimer’s. On this night while Zaid is at work, Sido wakes up from his sleep and he takes to the streets. He wonders into a nightclub where he sees his grandson in a whole new light.
