Set in the worst of bars, the protagonist navigates a world soaked in alcohol and regret, battling inner demons and longing for escape. The visceral portrayal of his encounters with fellow bar patrons and the haunting imagery of a hospital bed encapsulate the struggle between life and death, reminding us of the thin line separating survival from surrender.
