Synopsis/Details
A hooker, her drug dealer boyfriend and a wannabe screenwriter live an idyllic life at a sleazy hotel on the Venice boardwalk. But when the writer overhears the hooker being attacked by a client, she races into her room and kills him, which sets off a chain of events over the course of one long, hot night. As the body count rises, so does the body heat. VERY BAD THINGS meets AFTER HOURS in this pitch-black comedy.
