After a night of heavy drinking, charismatic sociopath Steve wakes up with a strange girl in his bed. To make things worse, his girlfriend Emily is on her way over to confront him. To extricate himself from a seemingly hopeless situation, Steve hatches a desperate plan, which will test even his considerable abilities to deny the forces of reality.
Black Out’s genre deconstruction combines melodrama, psychological thriller, and slacker comedy into an unsettling, ambiguously funny experience.
