THE STORY
Adam Wynne is a wealthy self-made investor whose personal life is a complete mess.
After failing to make an appearance at his son’s birthday two weeks earlier, Adam heads to his ex-partner’s place, in an attempt to make it up to Cruz and save the one good relationship he has left.
But he’s hit with the harsh reality that he’s broken his empty promises one too many times, when his seemingly great relationship with his son turns sour, pushing it to the verge of breaking point. As Cruz responds in anger, a wave of emotions are triggered in Adam’s psyche, as long suppressed feelings of guilt and shame resurface.
Suddenly, Adam realises the gravity of his reckless actions twenty years ago, driving him to seek out forgiveness from the only place there is left. It turns out that the offer has always been there.
