Two years come and go, as does one more. At the end of this period, the protagonist is at the end of his rope, desperate for any acting project, as well as under pressure even by his beloved to take up the job her father has finalized for him.

The film presents a zealous endeavor of utilizing thrill, suspense, aggression, and violence to present all of this to the viewer. At its conclusion also lies the final revelation about that one thing that is the most invaluable to the protagonist.
