“A disillusioned young businessman flees a tragic accident and reinvents himself as a Greenwich Village musician but finds he can’t escape his past.”
SYNOPSIS:
Garry is a 30-something businessman who feels trapped in his mundane (but lucrative) career and his impending marriage to his all too perfect fiancée, Nicole. He dreams of a life of meaning and music but feels powerless to make a change. A spilled cup of coffee, a missed meeting, a hit and run accident which leaves a homeless man lying dead on the sidewalk - his well-ordered life is no more.
Instead of facing the consequences, he decides to disappear, hitching cross-country with a faded 80’s post-punk band on a revival tour, and eventually melding into the Greenwich Village music scene as Gray, a man with no past. He now finds himself free to pursue his dreams. He meets a prophetic, homeless poet, Cotter, who becomes the unwitting lyricist for a brilliant song that suddenly catalyzes his music career. Olivier, the eccentric owner of the Village Pulse Club where Gray now works, takes notice and becomes his manager, much to Gray’s surprise. He also becomes obsessed with a beautiful and enigmatic dancer, Dzsenifer, who falls for him after hearing him perform. It all begins to unravel when Dzsenifer kills her abusive boyfriend, and Gray steps in to take the rap.
The police discover Gray’s alleged hit and run, and he is forced to return to the scene of the crime. Of course, nothing is as it seems, so Gray makes one final, impulsive attempt to free himself of his past.
