After being fired from his job and kicked out by his girlfriend, Ed is determined
to end his week by making a night of it and getting totally trashed. On the
other hand, Hasan has a girl who loves him and a bright future but huge
problem at home at the same time – his father demands from him to take
over the family’s Moroccan grocery store despite the fact that Hassan has
been accepted by a college to continue his studies. The parallel paths followed
by the two protagonists over a period of 18 hours intersect violently outside a
local shopping centre with fatal consequences for one and fateful
consequences for the other.
