PlotA solitary garbage man, burdened by a violent past, seeks redemption in a dim, crime-ridden city.

He finds himself contending with powerful and dangerous forces entrenched in the city's criminal underbelly. Confronted by these threats, he must decide whether to embrace the darkness he left behind to protect what little good remains in his world. This journey pushes him towards a reckoning, where he must reconcile his past with his present and determine the lengths he is willing to go to for salvation and justice. The decisions he makes will reverberate through his life and the lives of those around him, culminating in a tense confrontation that questions the possibility of redemption amidst pervasive corruption and violence.
