Synopsis by Jinko Labitag

Right after Calvin (Trevor Morgan) is fired from his job as a groundskeeper at a golf course, he finds himself presented with an opportunity to tend the grounds of a hillside mansion owned by Jack (Michael Welch). Heartbroken after his wife leaves him for another man, Jack decides to end his life one night. Calvin, however, drunkenly interrupts this plan, and successfully convinces his boss to continue living. The two then form an unexpected friendship as they bond over their tendency to avoid confronting their dilemmas. Directed by Peter O’Melia.
