Chalo is a lone security guard who struggles to get his first gamecock. His job, in an abandoned factory, is boring and monotonous, but it doesn’t seem to bother him that his life is like that as well. Once he finds his yearned for gamecock, which names it Rocky, his life changes. Not having a proper place to raise and train Rocky triggers a series of comical events that will put Chalo’s passion and love for his new and only “friend” to the test.
