...film is this; five seemingly random incidents occuring around the same time (11:14pm) are actually interlinked with one another. A drunk driver hits a man on a road near a bridge; three young men hit a woman with a van; a young man robs a convenience store; a man finds a body in a cemetery; and a young pregnant woman tries to raise money for an abortion.
