Synopsis
The streets of Chicago are always under construction. Paris Bellum returns to Chicago following the first football game of his sophomore year. The unexpected success of his freshman season at the University of Lake Shore caught the eye of his home city, and now the nineteen-year-old quarterback must navigate young fame, as well as the dangerous influences that come along with it. Paris takes us on a dark spiral through the seedier side of contemporary Chicago and a haunting exploration into the psyche of the Millennial generation. A generation made up of children so afraid of showing vulnerability that they would rather hide beneath permanent facades and self-medication than truly expose themselves to the collapsing world around them.
