When a sex trafficking ring takes an interest in a destitute young girl, people from various walks of life are sucked into an elaborate plot to abduct her.

A divorced Air Force sergeant rents a limousine to celebrate his daughter’s high school graduation. When only a few hours before the ceremony his daughter rejects his overtures to celebrate with him, he decides to spend the evening with the limo driver, a former Army grunt who is also divorced. As they drink and loosen up, their camaraderie gives way to an awkward but somehow therapeutic violence. Their conversations, misadventures, and stand-offs throughout the evening and early morning ratchet up the tension and expose the underbelly of pain felt by the spurned father. Reminiscent of the early work of Neil Labute, Amity unflinchingly presents a version of masculinity that is deeply insecure, sadistic and ultimately powerless.

When a wealthy businessman loses his job and his girlfriend on the same day, he asks his estranged college-aged daughter to live with him temporarily and care for his young son from a failed second marriage.
