AMERICAN PASSENGER
Synopsis
September 23, 1985. Albert, a young junkie, is being pursued through the streets of industrial Brooklyn by a clutch of dealers looking for payback. He has six hours to come up with a huge sum of cash. His only possible saviors are his girlfriend Del, who has a large check from her father she must be convinced to part with, and his brother, Tom the Baker, an ex-addict who has re-invented himself as the head of a two-bit mob operation.
AMERICAN PASSENGER is told in two simultaneous parallel narrative threads--one that begins at 6:00 PM, the other at 10:00 PM. We jump back and forth in time throughout the evening, revealing how choices made and lies told effect the characters' fates.
