Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning play of the same name by Cormac McCarthy, this harrowing two-character drama examines the friendship between two strangers pulled together by tragic circumstances. The story is set in a New York City tenement flat and focuses on two very different men: a very devout black ex-con who thwarts the suicide attempt of an asocial white college professor who attempted to fling himself in front of 'The Sunset Limited' subway train. While one strives to connect on an intellectual, spiritual, and emotional level, the other remains firmly entrenched in his well-earned sorrow. In a heated philosophical argument, both parties strongly defend their particular beliefs and attempt to convert the other.
