A simple plan for a quiet life goes violently off the rails in this darkly comedic thriller. Jack Quaid stars as a mild-mannered dentist whose world is upended when a charismatic and unpredictable patient, played by Amber Midthunder, walks into his office. What begins as a flirtation quickly spirals into a dangerous entanglement, pulling the dentist into a high-stakes criminal scheme he never saw coming. As he tries to navigate a web of lies and mounting paranoia, he finds himself pursued by both a determined detective Betty Gabriel and his own increasingly desperate associates, including a volatile friend portrayed by Ray Nicholson. Forced to shed his orderly persona, the dentist must outwit ruthless criminals and corrupt authorities in a brutal fight for survival. Directed by Dan Berk and Robert Olsen, Novocaine blends sharp humor with relentless tension, crafting a chaotic and bloody odyssey where every attempt to escape only sinks the protagonist deeper into a world of crime and consequence.
