Synopsis

Sebastian Poe, a barfly jazz pianist, is trying to make ends meet, gigging at seedy jazz clubs
to support his ailing sister Elise (Lori Petty). Work has dried up, and Sebastian becomes
indebted to a corrupt police detective, Terry. When he can’t pay, Terry offers him one
alternative - he must murder Stanley (Ed Westwick) by the end of the night. Sebastian
desperately wants to play the piano, but first he must traverse the dark streets of Deep Ellum
and silence his conscience.
