Roger, a beloved basketball coach, is on his way to work, proudly carrying a chocolate box announcing the birth of his baby boy. His trip is disrupted when he witnesses a horrific act of violence on the street. He observes without intervening from the safety of the pavement; not attempting to help. Roger’s descent into shame begins there. As he navigates between his students and colleagues, accepting their congratulations and offering them chocolates, the guilt deepens. Each encounter brings a new update on the victim’s condition; the incident is all over the news. By the first training of the day, Roger is a crushed man terrified to face the teenagers who idolize him.
