In the tradition of Martin Scorsese's ''After Hours'', Jack, a security guard gets his gun stolen and embarks on a wild journey to get it back.

Jack is stuck in neutral. He lives with his mom in suburban New Jersey, works as a security guard, and can barely get out of bed in the morning. All that changes when he sees a cute girl on the bus - and then realizes seconds later that his gun is missing. Desperate to find it, he enlists the help of a fast-talking middle-aged maybe-gangster named Eddie, who sends Jack on an epic quest to explore the darkest, strangest corners of American suburbia. Will Jack ever find his gun? Or better yet, maybe that cute girl from the bus?

A hilarious deadpan comedy that speaks directly to lost and adrift young people, this film made history as the first by a Filipino American director to get a theatrical release. Lost for 23 years after its original distributor's bankruptcy, this new 4K restoration from the original camera negative marks the film's long-delayed home video debut.
