Sky Peals

In his mid-thirties, Adam (Faraz Ayub) works nightshifts at a burger restaurant in a motorway service station and lives a small and lonely life of isolation. When his estranged father suddenly dies, Adam tries to piece together a picture of a man he never knew. With the strange black out episodes Adam has been experiencing lately, along with his inability to communicate and connect with people, he begins to wonder if his father was actually a being from another place. And if he was, what does that make Adam?
