On a sweltering day in Los Angeles, an unemployed man abandons his car in traffic and sets out on foot to reach his estranged family. Along the way, everyday frustrations and confrontations push him toward increasingly violent behavior, while a retiring detective works to understand and stop the unfolding chaos.
You’ll like this intense, darkly comic thriller if you enjoy morally complicated characters, social frustration, and escalating tension; Not for you if you prefer clear heroes, restrained violence, or a lighter story.
