Story about a low-life drug dealer who tries to turn his life around, but finds himself at the mercy of fate when he encounters a cop with an agenda of his own.
Such a cool SF short! It's an homage to the science fiction movies of the 80's, so if you're a fan, this will be a dream come true, and if you don't care for the genre, you'll be astonished by the sheer brilliance of the filmmaking in this movie.
