Plot Summary
It is nearly midnight on October 30, 2022. Divorce lawyer Jen Brotherhood waits for her 18-year-old son Todd to get home from a date with his new girlfriend Clio. As she watches him arrive from an upstairs window, a man accosts him in the driveway. Before she can do anything, Todd knifes the stranger.
