On a snowy Saturday in December 2016, Charles has promised to take his son to get a Christmas tree, but refuses to do so until the Basketball game is over on TV. Charles has already started drinking beer and heads to the living room with a half-bottle of whiskey. He tells Chris to wake him after the game if he falls asleep (which he does) so they can go get the promised tree. Chris explores his environment, giving us a glimpse into his world and his imaginary super hero Captain Spirit.
