A young man leaves his quiet hometown to chase the dream of living in New York City. As he adjusts to a crowded apartment and unfamiliar roommates, the constant noise and lack of privacy begin to wear on him in unexpected ways. What starts as excitement turns into quiet psychological strain, until he realizes that some freedoms are worth more than the dream itself. He returns home and finally finds comfort in the simple luxury he took for granted.
