Synopsis
Short Synopsis: Derek, a gifted wheelman staring down fatherhood, boosts the wrong car. The owner, Ray Williams, refuses to be collateral—steering the night toward an unexpected reckoning. What starts as a botched theft becomes a forced ride into the past, where debts aren’t just financial and the truth can’t stay in the rearview.
Long Synopsis: One late-night job is supposed to fix Derek’s immediate problems: hospital bills, overdue rent, the gnawing fear that he’ll fail his own child before it’s born. But when he jumps into a sleek sedan, he isn’t alone. Ray Williams sits upright in the passenger seat—composed, observant, and eerily familiar. The road becomes a negotiation with stakes neither man names out loud. Derek drives. Ray guides. Each mile peels back a layer—regret, resentment, and the moments where choices were made and bridges burned. Detroit’s streets narrow into a single question: if hurt is inherited, can mercy be, too?
