Synopsis
Consumed with the fear of failing, Lilli, a skeptical young painter crosses paths on the streets of Manhattan with Morrison, an obsessive compulsive writer who rarely escapes the confines of his car. In the most harrowing 48 hours of their lives, they are forced to come to terms with their past in order to feel worth of success and love. As we weave in and out of eight defective lives, Lilli and Morrison expose us to the sad truths of life as well as its wonderful possibilities.
