about the project
This narrative is set against the backdrop of a deserted gas station, we follow the intersecting paths of Dexter, a working professional, Ash, a homeless man, and Floyd, a college student working the graveyard shift. As Dexter fuels his car, he encounters Ash and extends a small act of kindness, unaware that their interaction has been captured by a social media influencer. Meanwhile, Floyd, preoccupied with his phone, becomes unwittingly embroiled in the unfolding drama.
As the night progresses, Dexter's seemingly insignificant gesture becomes the subject of public scrutiny, sparking unforeseen consequences. Amidst the escalating tension, Dexter is confronted with a harrowing moral dilemma when he witnesses a violent robbery. His decision to intervene sets off a chain of events that will challenge his perception of humanity and force him to confront the harsh realities of his own actions.
With themes of compassion, morality, and societal expectations, this project delves into the complexities of human behavior and the profound impact of seemingly inconsequential choices. Through its dynamic characters and suspenseful narrative, this film promises to captivate audiences and provoke thought-provoking discussions about the nature of empathy and selflessness in an increasingly interconnected world.
