An aging cop is assigned the ordinary task of escorting a fast-talking witness from police custody to a courthouse, but they find themselves running the gauntlet as other forces try to prevent them from getting there.

This is a relentless, gritty urban chase, dripping with a sense of desperate urgency. It feels like a race against the clock through the unforgiving streets of New York, driven by a weary sense of duty and the unexpected bond between two very different men. A tense, propulsive ride with a heart of worn-out hope.
