This is the story of Jeff, a young, good-natured guy who cannot tell a lie! When, after more than his share of life’s mishaps, he lands a job as a night-shift security guard at a high-rise Manhattan apartment building, he hopes to finally get a taste of some stability in his life. His unexpected involvement with his new boss, along with two neighborhood police officers, shakes up his plans like a Richter 10 earthquake! What transpires is bittersweet, funny, and deeply thought-provoking. Kenneth Lonergan (b. 1962), American film director, playwright, and screenwriter, began his career with the screenplay for the comedy, “Analyze This” (1996). His most recent screenplay was for “Manchester by the Sea”
