LEO
Lenny, scruffy and lost, is snapped out of his groggy morning routine of making toast. His younger brother Simon, who's in a rush to leave for school, asks Lenny to let in his beloved dog Leo, when he comes to the door. Selfishly, Lenny tends to his craving for beer by driving to the local gas station while forgetting Leo. While driving back, his drunkenness suddenly jolts him into a horrible accident.
Silence is heavy as Lenny returns home late to a worried and upset brother and Grandfather. After helping on a search for Leo the next day, guilt begins to weigh on Lenny. He feels a change of heart and attempts to connect with Simon, but the brothers’ distant relationship further devolves when Simon refuses to hear what Lenny wants to say.
Lenny is quick to fall back into old habits. The cold, rainy, night approaches when he again finds he is out of beer. Simon, unable to sleep at the thought of where Leo may be, hears a muffled sound outside his room. He’s heard this routine before. Simon locks the door, and waits for Lenny to return. Lenny arrives back at the front door, only to find it is locked. He attempts to intimidate Simon by yelling through the glass, but Simon isn’t phased. They hold a long, cold, distant, stare between each other as the storm rages on.
