Boston, 1970s. In an abandoned warehouse, an African-American gang is about to sell thirty assault rifles to an IRA-affiliated group. Justine, a tough woman, arranged the deal, while the tacky man known as Ord poses as the intermediary. Everything seems to go smoothly, until the negotiations turns into an open gun fight. Considering the people involved and the number of weapons at their disposal, the consequences are bound to be terrible. [mp]

Declaration
film director
“Everyone has this massive baggage of ideas about themselves and very rarely do we get tested. You might think you are a great hero then find out what a terrible coward you are. Or you thought you were nice and you’re quite nasty and mean. It’s interesting to see those characters, their whole lives reduced down to very tiny actions. Like should I crawl over here or what if I went up those stairs or what if I get to a telephone? That was the thing I was thinking of: micro decisions leading to terrible consequences.”
