Arnold is a middle-aged mouse trapped in an existential crisis. His marriage is falling apart, his life seems meaningless, and he begins to suspect that everything around him is a grand façade. When his best friend dies under suspicious circumstances, Arnold becomes convinced that something is wrong. What begins as everyday paranoia turns into a desperate escape toward something that might resemble—if only a little—freedom.
