Leonard, a charismatic but troubled young man, moves back into his childhood home following a recent heartbreak.

Leonard becomes deeply infatuated by Michelle, who seems poised to fall for him, but is having a self-destructive affair with a married man. At the same time, mounting pressure from his family pushes him towards committing to Sandra.
