 After the deaths of his parents, Matt is forced to turn to crime to support himself and his younger brother. The conflict between his reality and his hopes engenders a schizophrenic breakdown, during which he encounters Bill, who may be real or may be simply his own inner reason. Bill leads Matt through various memories, and explores the ways in which the social structure of late capitalism helps shatter the normal bounds of individual consciousness. Matt awakes, possible having seen a way to escape from his dilemma. This short film is grounded in the philosophical ideas of the French writer Gilles Deleuze.
