The film utilizes flashbacks of images from Libin’ first feature, The Distribution of Lead (1987). On the night of the infamous Black Monday in October of 1987, a group of self-styled revolutionaries carries out a coup d‚Äôetat on their company in New York’ World Trade Center. The group escapes with millions of dollars in bearer bonds. One of the members, Fred White, leads the gang to hole-up at his sister Maude?s Ludlow Street apartment. During the all-night siege, Maude is shot and killed on the roof of her building. Almost two decades later, alcohol-soaked and guilt ridden, Fred hires cinema student Jimmy Peterson for a 24-hour odyssey through the golf courses of Westchester and on to Lower Manhattan, then a visit to Fred?s estranged family in Brownstone Brooklyn. Fred confesses his own guilt in the association between Maude?s death and the events of September 11th. Shooting non-stop with his camera, Jimmy films Fred as he faces his enemy at dawn on Gardiner’ Bay off the East Coast of Long Island. The soundtrack is by John Zorn, one of the American masters of avant-garde jazz.
