Trailer

Why watch this film?

Frank (John Pollono), Terrence (Jon Bernthal) and Packie (Shea Whigham) are three friends who have known each other since adolescence and now begin to reconnect. However, the relationship complicates when Crystal (Ciara Bravo) enters the mix, shaking the trust between them. Things become even more tense, however, when they are called to meet after hours at Frank's workshop, under mysterious circumstances that only he knows. Soon, they all enter into a violent fight during the strangest night of their lives. Directed and written by first-time filmmaker John Pollono, the feature surprises with its change of tone throughout the story and, mainly, the unusual way the filmmaker presents this narrative that, despite being based on some outdated male ideals, can positively surprise the viewer.
