Jon, a first-time filmmaker, finds himself in Lansing, Michigan to present his film at a local film festival. Vince, his high school friend who is now a volunteer fireman and small-time drug dealer, also visits the town to support Jon on his big day, or so it seems. After a raucous hello and much backslapping, it appears that there is an undercurrent of tension in the air.

This claustrophobic chamber piece transforms a single room into a pressure cooker of mounting dread and moral ambiguity. Instead of an explosive confrontation, the tension builds through a quiet, suffocating interrogation of long-buried secrets.
