Plot

Harper, a dedicated law student with a heart of gold, finds himself ensnared in a web of suspicion and doubt. He's convinced that his manipulative step-father, Vincent, is the mastermind behind the car accident that has left his mother comatose. One fateful evening, in an unlit corner of an L.A whiskey bar, Harper's sorrow is disrupted by the rough-edged allure of Johnny Ray, a hardened redneck with a dangerous proposition. For a mere US$20,000, he offers to 'eliminate' the problem plaguing Harper's life: his stepfather. Goaded by anger, revenge, and an insidious flow of alcohol, Harper succumbs to the temptation and seals the deadly pact with Johnny Ray over rounds of whiskey shots. But as dawn breaks, Harper awakens to a splitting hangover and a murky recollection of the night's events. His regret is short-lived as he's met by an unexpected sight at his front door: a determined Johnny Ray and his aloof yet captivating girlfriend, Cherry, poised to embark on a perilous journey to Vegas, with Vincent in their crosshairs. Harper's protests of drunken vulnerability fall on deaf ears, and Johnny Ray's menacing aura in the stark daylight leaves him with a chilling realization. Escape is not an option. His only hope for survival is to play along in this deadly game. As events unfold, the narrative takes an unforeseen detour, presenting two alternate realities with starkly different outcomes. The audience is left to unravel the truth: Did Harper genuinely harbor a desire to kill his stepfather, and which path did he truly tread on this dangerous detour? This noir thriller is a labyrinth of tension and twists, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats until the very end.
