West Bottoms

Larry Poole is a drifter. Most nights, he can barely sleep while battling regret from decades of bad decisions. The kind of decisions that would drive anyone away…including his only daughter Jessica.

Now, the only thing he has left is a motorcycle he uses to bomb through the deep nights of Kansas City to try and outrun the demons that haunt him. That’s why it’s almost a relief when the doctor diagnoses him with a terminal illness. At least it’ll all be over soon. Larry peels out of the hospital and on the way home, the cops impound his bike and take him to the jail for violating parole. He calls Jessica, but she refuses to help bail him out. With the clock ticking on whatever time he has left, this is the moment Larry determines to do whatever it takes to win back his daughter.
