Casey, a timid Hospitality worker, works at an isolated country club near Wellington, hiding his deep trauma behind a friendly demeanor and finding comfort in a sheepskin pocket square. His routine life is disrupted when Hunter, an abrasive guest, arrives, triggering Casey's buried inner turmoil. During a masquerade event, Hunter's relentless taunts push Casey to his breaking point.
