In a raw and unflinching portrait of modern detachment, Keanu Reeves stars as John, a middle-aged man drifting through a haze of casual encounters and unfulfilling work as a limousine driver in New York City. His aimless existence is shaken when he spends a long, disorienting night with two younger women, Mia, played by Bojana Novakovic, and Violet, played by Adelaide Clemens, who are themselves struggling with their own personal demons and a lack of direction. As the trio navigates a series of increasingly intimate and volatile interactions, the boundaries between friendship, exploitation, and a desperate need for connection blur. Directed by Mark Mann, this drama eschews conventional plot for a gritty, observational style, capturing the raw, often uncomfortable moments of people searching for meaning in a city that offers none. The film unfolds over the course of a single day and night, forcing its characters to confront the emptiness of their lifestyles and the fleeting nature of their relationships, all set against a backdrop of neon-lit urban isolation.
