A middle aged man named john turns to alcohol and drugs after the recent passing away of his 9 year old daughter. He's let himself go to the point he's living in a run down house and lives in constant paranoia and confusion putting missing posters up for his daughter and hallucinates his daughter each and every day.

Story opens with a man sat on his couch drinking in the middle of the day (cans and bottles all over the floor) he finishes a can and throws it across the room then grabs some posters by the side and throws a back pack over his shoulder and cuts to a shot of him stumbling around drunk trying to puts up missing posters for his daughter who passed away. (John has gone crazy and all his pain is affecting him with hallucinations)

John stumbles across his last poster he hears a little girls laugh then catches a glimpse of a girl run towards a house. Thinking its his daughter he finds his way to a house ( his house ) follows her upstairs to his daughters room where he opens the door to see himself arguing with his daughter where he yells 'get out' (this is the night his daughter died) This hallucination gives him a sudden realisation of what he had done making him feel that he was the cause of his daughters death. He makes his way back towards the sofa he first sat on where he then grabs some pills empties them into his mouth waits staring at the glass as they slowly make an effect on him killing himself  (ends where the film started.)
