This tightly woven tale takes the details of the shocking 2001 case of Chante Mallard and weaves a darkly comical and gruesome fictional thriller. It’s one of those true-life stories that seem too crazy to be true. A woman hits a homeless man with her car and drives home with him embedded in her windshield. With a screenplay from John Strysik, Stuart Gordon, the creator of the humorous horror flick RE-ANIMATOR, makes his best film since his 1985 cult classic.
Brandi Boski (Mena Suvari, AMERICAN BEAUTY) is a nurse’s assistant with a big promotion on the horizon. Despite a good rep at work, she’s a drug using hard partier on the weekends. She’s dating a dealer named Rashid (Russell Hornsby, SOMETHING NEW), whose hard talk about killing people seems questionable. Tom Bardo (Stephen Rea, CRYING GAME) is having the worst day of his life. He gets kicked out of his apartment, gets the run around at the employment office and has to spend the night in the park. When he runs into Brandi after a night of partying, his day takes a turn for the worst.
