Two parents try to keep the dad's terminal illness a secret from their daughter so that they don't spoil her plans to move to the city. The mother and father are played by a real couple, who are dealing with the man's real illness, and their daughter is played by an actress, cast to play the child they never had, but always dreamed of.

A man mutters to himself, checks his to-do list, introduces himself to old friends, and grasps for a memory that always slips away. A pig slowly roasts in an IMU pit, a birthday luau devolves into chaos and heartbreak when Ryan, a permanent scar on his head, finally remembers a glimpse of the accident that destroyed his memory to begin with.

Set in an abstraction of 1970s London, Amaranthine tells a tale of punks, betrayal and revenge.
