Overview

John LeTour is a recovering drug user who suffers insomnia and still deals to a high-end New York clientele, even though he’s trying to move on from the business. John’s professional midlife crisis becomes something more acute — and dangerous — when he re-encounters an old flame while a string of seemingly drug-related murders rocks the city.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A nocturnal descent into the mind of a man caught between wanting to escape his past and being unable to leave it behind. The film unfolds with the restless, insomniac logic of its protagonist, intimate and claustrophobic one moment, threatening and paranoid the next.
