Synopsis

A lonely boy moves through a world where friendship is difficult to find. After meeting a group of people who accept him, he begins to experience companionship, loyalty, and a sense of belonging. As the relationships develop, however, trust gives way to deception and the boy is placed in an increasingly dangerous situation. The story explores friendship, morality, and the risks of relying on others, while ultimately offering a hopeful resolution. The narrative gives Kodaline's reflective cover a cinematic, emotionally driven setting.
