Why tonight?

  • Under two hours — there is still an evening on the other side of it.
  • It goes hard on frights — not a wind-down.

The story

Singer-songwriter Winslow Leach seeks revenge on the nefarious music producer Swan, who steals both Winslow's music and his favorite singer for the grand opening of Swan's new rock palace, the Paradise.
