Blackout

Storyline

Lenny D Souza s routine evening during a city blackout spirals into peril when all actors of the night - thief, informer, lover, cop - collide around him. With the grid out of power and nobody reliable, every move becomes dangerous, every trust fragile, and the darkness is as much inside as it is out.
