Synopsis

Victor, a New Yorker in his mid-thirties, is asphyxiating.  A struggling poet, Victor feels trapped.  Trapped by his girlfriend Mary who is six months pregnant.  Trapped in his fear of becoming a parent.  Trapped in a deeply conflicted relationship with his father-in-law, "Dad," who has begun pressuring him to find a stable and well-paying job.  Victor feels trapped by the frenetic pace of life in New York City -- and ultimately trapped within himself.

Life for Victor and Mary has become an unbearable trudge through vast big box mega-stores, endless floors of model kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms and nurseries in anticipation of their impending move into a new home.  Meanwhile, the couple’s cramped Chinatown apartment is in a state of disarray, a jumble of misplaced furniture, piles of bills, CDs, clothing, trash, cartons and box cutters.

Mary spends sleepless nights crying, haunted by unexplained, nagging apprehensions.  She is overcome with a sense of dread that something dark and terrifying lies ahead.  And tensions with Dad continue to simmer, ready to spin out of control.

Victor is desperate to find a way out, an escape.

A random, unexpected encounter with death offers Victor the perfect opportunity.  But of course there is no escape, and Victor will have to pay the price.
