Chris, a drug dealer, and Lily, a prostitute, live in the forgotten port town of UNITAS. Lily wants to leave behind the misery they live in. She wants to fly far away. Chris is hesitant and fearful. Lily abandons him. Chris realizes he can not live without her, “Ok, we’ll fly”. Lily is now fearful. In the port of Unitas, Chris and Lily prepare to spread their wings and take flight, risking it all. Will their strength last, or will it fade? How strong are the wings and will of Chris and Lily? Will they take flight? Will they crash and burn, falling once more in the poorly woven nest that is called Unitas?
