McKenzie is a fugitive recovery agent, transporting a dangerous killer, when a car accident allows her quarry to escape. In the woods, the other driver becomes entangled in the pursuit, forcing McKenzie to confront the truth that nothing is what it seems. Joglar also wrote the script, and it has been nominated for several awards at film festivals, particularly for its diverse approach to its subject matter. Not only are these real and believable characters, they are representative of the world today, echoing its triumphs and horrors. Sarah Villegas gives a memorable performance as the battle-hardened McKenzie. Her chemistry with Colleen Slattery's Abigail forms the foundation of the narrative, with each actress deftly swirling within a tempest of deception. The brilliance of the script is in how it organically flows through each conversation. Budget constraints ensured this would be a dialogue heavy affair, and yet Villegas' ironclad command of McKenzie's resolve propels the story seamlessly. Slattery enhances the

with a layered performance that she vanishes inside of. This a complex, paranoia infused experience in which everyone is lying and telling the truth simultaneously and Joglar's ability to balance these paradoxes is a miracle to behold.
