In the restless late hours of Miami, nine characters stumble through weird nights and even weirder dreams as they grapple with their dead-end jobs and absurdities of modern life: A diner breakdown to a reggaeton-fueled murder fantasy, a clown-vampire existential crisis, and a ten-year-old philosopher driving the last nail into the coffin of the American Dream - ultimately revealing a society teetering between exhaustion and hope.
