Once a wealthy man who built a successful life elsewhere, Iphram now feels lost in the shadow of his family's legacy and the haunting memories of his childhood. The house that once echoed with his mother's piano now stands silent, and the bonds with his siblings, who have moved on, seem distant.

As Iphram navigates his mourning, he crosses paths with Amela, a business partner with whom he shares a growing emotional connection.

Meanwhile, his old friend Sam reenters his life, struggling with personal demons that reflect Iphram's own inner turmoil.

Confronting his past, he must decide how to reconcile with the ghosts that haunt him and find a path forward without losing the pieces of his identity shaped by his family and upbringing.
