Synopsis/Details
Peter West arrives in Las Vegas like a black-suited philosopher-king: full of charm, contradictions, and grand delusions. He doesn’t want to win money—he wants to find meaning. But Vegas has its own logic, and Peter’s existential pilgrimage soon crashes against the machinery of power, ego, and law.
After a public meltdown lands him in jail, Peter descends into a surreal underworld of solitary confinement and psych evaluations. There, he meets a rogue’s gallery of inmates: a sugar-hoarding prophet, a traumatized war vet with a vendetta against Vegas PD, and a guard nicknamed General Lee who offers blankets in exchange for silence.
Released with nothing but a broken watch and bruised pride, Peter stumbles into the city's shelter system. He navigates shower lines, hustles for food, and finds fleeting friendships with hustlers, ex-cons, and lost souls trying to rewrite their stories. Cleaning arena bathrooms and dodging despair, Peter’s odyssey becomes a darkly comedic meditation on failure, freedom, and the strange grace of starting over. Peter’s descent becomes a darkly funny meditation on failure, freedom, and finding grace on the outskirts of society.
