extend a helping hand, they uncover the complexities of Brandon's reality –from his struggles with homelessness to his battles with anxiety and mortality.
Yet amidst the challenges, there are moments of connection and hope, as Brandon find solace in the warmth of human kindness and companionship. But as days pass, they realize that Brandon's pride may be the biggest obstacle to accepting the help offered by others.
