What Oslo, August 31st is

Oslo for a day meets Last Chance U. A rehab day pass drops a relapsed addict back into the city that made him. He drifts between old haunts and new faces, the clock ticking toward the one night he can’t outrun. The city becomes both mirror and maze, his fragile clarity the only compass.
