Synopsis/Details
On an ordinary afternoon in a struggling city, the lives of strangers converge inside a corner store: a hardened ex-con and his reluctant partner seeking one last score, a fractured father and son forced into each other’s company, and a disgraced politician clinging to his public image. What begins as a simple robbery unravels into a tense standoff where choices ricochet, secrets surface, and promises of change; to quit, to reform, to stay, are tested under fire. By the time the sirens fade, blood has been spilled, legacies shattered, and only one truth remains: nobody escapes for good this time.
