His life begins to take a drastic turn when he is offered money by two wealthy teenagers to fight other homeless individuals. Initially reluctant, Willie finds himself in a desperate situation and reluctantly agrees to participate. As he gets deeper into these fights, he slowly gains a kind of twisted fame among the homeless community, even as the brutality of each encounter starts taking its toll.

As Willie navigates through his own troubled past while trying to help someone else, his interactions with the diary and its kindred spirit provide him brief moments of solace and humanity. However, his precarious situation leads him towards difficult decisions that could either uplift his spirit or further plunge him into desolation, leaving his fate hanging in the balance as the story unfolds.
