The story
Tells the seemingly random yet vitally connected story of a set of incidents that all converge one evening at 11:14pm. The story follows the chain of events of five different characters and five different storylines that all converge to tell the story of murder and deceit.
What it’s like
Restless, handheld-to-frantic camera work over a small Midwestern city at night, with sodium streetlight orange, sickly fluorescent convenience-store white and the cold blue of police lights bleeding across wet asphalt. The look is gritty and low-budget, with a deliberately fractured structure that keeps circling back to the same minutes from different angles, so the screen feels busy and slightly disorienting rather than still. Sound leans on sharp diegetic noise: sirens tearing through quiet streets, glass breaking, car doors, and a jittery pop-rock soundtrack that surges in and out. The vibe is darkly comic and anxious, a mix of gallows humor and creeping dread, with a tight, escalating rhythm that suits a late-night watch with the lights low. Its intensity is real: a murder, a gunshot, a robbery and a car chase, with blood and crude violence shown directly but not lingered on, plus strong language, drinking and sexual innuendo. Teens and adults who enjoy interlocking crime stories, dark comedy and scrappy indie energy will find it most rewarding; it is not a gentle or cozy watch.
