The housing crisis sent Vinnie to the can. Now he’s out, with no prospects, no job, and an unfortunate amount of time on his hands.
When his next-door neighbor, Vic, asks him to take a little ride on a Friday night, Vinnie tags along. Because why not?
It’s a small errand. No big whoop.
Everyone has memories of nights in our youth that went on forever. A night of bad decisions and even worse friends.
Will this night ever end?
