Jeff the security guard tries to make the most of the graveyard shift, cajoling, joking and talking his way through the night. But when confronted with an epic ethical dilemma, Jeff has a mind-bending problem: he wants to do the right thing, but he can’t figure out what “the right thing” is.

 

"A masterpiece. The best drama, the best comedy and the best romance of the year, all rolled into one." ~ Time Out New York
