A scholar stripped of his books and his home, he has one goal: a cheap motel room and a final act of acceptance. But Manila is a predator that refuses to let a body go to waste. When Seb-a sex worker-mistakes Elias's room for a job, the scholar's exit strategy is violently derailed. Trapped between a man trying to leave the world and a man trying to afford to stay in, Elias is forced to confront a devastating truth.
