""Bunny (Stark) is a streetwise hustler working a quick job when everything goes sideways - fast. Thrust into a fight for his life, he turns to his best friend Dino (Jacobson) for help. What follows is one wild, sweltering summer day and night in their East Village tenement, as the two scheme with a crew of eccentric neighbors to cover up a dead body. With the NYPD circling, chaos reigns as the clock ticks and the heat rises."
