Night Shift

In a cramped, aging suburb where the echo of yesterday’s laughter still clings to the paint‑peeling walls, two brothers cling to the memory of the home that raised them. Faced with foreclosure and the looming loss of everything that ties them to their past, they hatch a daring, off‑the‑wall scheme to pull off a heist at a local service station. The plan is wild enough to feel like a last‑ditch love letter to the house itself, promising both a financial lifeline and a chance to rewrite their future.

The night they set their caper into motion turns into a surreal cat‑and‑mouse game when an unexpected time lock seals the station’s doors, trapping them inside with a group of bewildered strangers. What begins as a simple robbery quickly spirals into a chaotic, claustrophobic comedy where improvisation becomes survival. The cramped, fluorescent‑lit interior becomes a pressure cooker for jokes, misunderstandings, and moments of unexpected camaraderie, each character forced to reveal hidden facets of themselves amid the ticking clock.

Tone‑wise, the film balances slapstick mishaps with heartfelt family dynamics, threading witty banter through tense moments and letting the absurdity of the situation highlight the brothers’ deep bond. The city’s neon‑washed nightscape looms outside, a reminder that life continues beyond the locked doors, while inside, the brothers discover that the greatest heist may not be stealing money but reclaiming the sense of togetherness they thought they’d lost. The premise promises a roller‑coaster of wacky misadventures, sharp humor, and an unexpectedly tender exploration of sibling loyalty.
