Synopsis
Warwick Wilson is the consummate host. He carefully prepares for a dinner party, the table impeccably set and the duck perfectly timed for 8:30 p.m. John Taylor is a career criminal. He’s just robbed a bank and needs to get off the streets. He finds himself on Warwick’s doorstep posing as a friend of a friend, new to Los Angeles, who’s been mugged and lost his luggage. As the wine flows and the evening progresses, we become intertwined in the lives of these two men and discover just how deceiving appearances can be. A slippery psychological thriller that exposes true human nature and reveals just how far we’re willing to go to satisfy our needs.
