The Big Empty

Baker, California. A fly-blown desert crossroads. One blue suitcase. Mistaken identity and looming debts send a desperate Angeleno to deliver the valise, no questions asked. Instead, he finds a hostage, a homicidal boyfriend, and a very strange parcel. A Coen-esque neo-noir with a healthy dose of UFO paranoia.
