Description
Nelson Dyar, a disillusioned bank teller from New York, travels to Tangier seeking an escape from his mundane existence and a path to a more authentic life. However, his journey into the exotic North African city quickly descends into a spiral of moral decay and self-destruction. As Nelson becomes increasingly entangled with the local culture and its darker undercurrents, he finds a disturbing sense of connection in acts of violence and depravity, pushing him further from redemption.
