Synopsis: After an alcohol-induced, blacked-out night of drinking, Teddy discovers he has severely beaten his wife, Molly. As he attempts to redeem himself to her, she must decide whether or not she will take him back. Meanwhile, her protective brother, Gordon, continuously expresses his disapproval and falls in way over his head as he tries to hire an ex-con, Howard, to kill Teddy. Structured as two separate but interlocking stories, one a quest for redemption, the other a self-corrupting voyage, The Living balances the bleak with the humorous, and suspense with drama, creating a dark neo-noir thriller that retains its independent feel.
