Overview
A rush-hour fender-bender on New York City's crowded FDR Drive, under most circumstances, wouldn't set off a chain reaction that could decimate two people's lives. But on this day, at this time, a minor collision will turn two complete strangers into vicious adversaries. Their means of destroying each other might be different, but their goals, ultimately, will be the same: Each will systematically try to dismantle the other's life in a reckless effort to reclaim something he has lost.

The narrative subtly explores themes of privilege and class disparity through the contrasting experiences of its main characters, offering an indirect critique of individual moral failings within a system that highlights societal inequalities.
Secondary
