The Sacramento Film and Music Festival is proud to present a film by local filmmaker Josh Pierson.

In a dingy diner that appears to have not been updated since some time in the 1950’s, we are introduced to Jeff, who in his early '30s already looks to have been worked over by time in prison; hair slicked back, tattoos, cigarettes in his pocket. We quickly find out that it’s not only his rough demeanor that’s in trouble, but he is visited by a mobster trying to collect on a long overdue debt of $135,000 and needs to pay up in only a few days.

Luckily for Jeff, he happens to know the right guys that are gullible enough to pull something off and get him out of debt fast. His brother Barry is a used car salesman who is also down on his luck and close to losing his dealership position. so if the plan and money is right, he’s all in. He also recruits his best friend Tim, friends since childhood who has always tried to be as “cool” as Jeff comes along for the ride, quickly becoming an innocent bystander in this hectic, murderous tale.

Without the knowledge of his compatriots Jeff just so happens to be involved with a soon-to-be ex-wife of a local rich developer named Bob, and she’s easily able to persuade Jeff that her husband is the perfect target for a robbery; in and out in only a few hours, and none the wiser. The problem is that Bob is in struggles of his own that he never let on to his wife Tracy, and with nowhere to turn, knowing he’s going to lose what little he has left when the divorce goes through, he decides it’s time for the woman of the house to be discarded of - on the same night he’s about to be robbed.

 In this neo-noir tale of lust, deceit, betrayal and murder Jeff comes to find out that he’s left with no other options and ultimately loses everything that is dear to him.
