Storyline
Detached follows the relationship between a mother and son. The son was very much attached and connected to his mother at a young age, but as years passed and he entered his teenage years, he increasingly detaches from her, constantly getting himself into trouble and arguing back. This all comes to a close when he gets himself arrested and must call his mum to pick him up from the police station.
