Join us for the stunning North American Premiere and Q&A for Ross Clarke's brilliant adaptation of Craig Clevenger's bestselling novel, starring Joseph Morgan (The Originals), Walton Goggins (Justified), Kate Walsh (Greys Anatomy) and Ron Perlman (Hellboy). Suffering from amnesia, chemist Eric Ashworth (Morgan) finds himself being pulled in different directions. There is the drug dealer who wants the formula to a drug that only Eric knows, a cop who wants to know how he got involved, and a lawyer with ulterior motives. As he struggles to deliver everything being asked of him, the only thing on Eric's mind is finding a woman he remembers: Desiree. The closer he gets to answering his and everyone else's questions, the more dangerous it gets: What happened that caused Eric to lose his memory? And where exactly is Desiree? Set against the backdrop of steamy New Orleans, Ross Clarke's debut feature is a sultry film noir that beautifully captures the anguish and desperation of being betrayed by one's own mind. - Alexandra Avila
