OUTLINE

Jonah lives in the oppressive shadow of his father, Edward, a local bully and self-proclaimed kingpin. The story begins with Jonah in a small room, being interrogated by Angela, who seeks to understand the violent incident that transpired. Jonah is consumed with anger towards his father, feeling trapped by the expectations and fears that Edward instils in him.

During a night out with friends, Jonah experiences a mix of camaraderie and tension as they navigate the nightlife while grappling with Edward's reputation. When a confrontation with the aggressive Tony escalates, Jonah's attempt at pacification leads to a heated altercation. Despite his attempts to assert his independence, Jonah's anger boils over, resulting in a singular, fatal punch that shocks him and his friends.

Back in the interrogation room, Jonah struggles to articulate the immense pressure he feels under his father's thumb. Angela presses him for answers, but Jonah's internal conflict leaves him speechless. He reflects on the societal expectations of masculinity and violence that his father embodies, ultimately acknowledging that even the most peaceful individuals can be driven to extremes when pushed too hard. As he cites the Judge’s ruling on self-defence, Jonah grapples with the reality of his actions and the infinite consequences that follow.

The narrative explores the themes of bullying, family dynamics, and the tragic consequences of violence, ultimately questioning how far a person can be pushed before they react in ways that shatter lives forever.
