Inspired by true-life events, this taut drama about hero worship and forgiveness examines Americans’ contradictory condemnation of, and craving for violence in entertainment. Thirty years after a brutal on-field hit left a professional football player paralyzed for life, the man responsible (known as the “Assassin”) is himself battling diabetes and alcoholism. He has arranged a private meeting with the now-quadriplegic’s lawyer to negotiate plans for a public, televised reunion and presumed mea culpa during the halftime of the upcoming Super Bowl. But what begins as a careful cat-and-mouse game evolves into a volatile evening of stinging accusations and startling confessions.
