1992
“Every city has a breaking point.”
In 1992, Mercer is desperately trying to rebuild his life and his relationship with his son amidst the turbulent Los Angeles uprising following the Rodney King verdict. Across town, another father and son put their own strained relationship to the test as they plot a dangerous heist to steal catalytic converters, which contain valuable platinum from the factory where Mercer works. As tensions rise and chaos erupts, both families reach their boiling points when their worlds collide.
This is a raw, urgent plunge into a volatile moment in history. It feels gritty and desperate, a tension-soaked exploration of survival and fractured relationships amidst societal chaos. The atmosphere is thick with unease and the palpable weight of injustice, making for a visceral, propulsive experience.
