A lifetime hood has one night to repay a debt to an up and coming shot caller before he can leave town, all the while trying to duck a crooked P.O., a former partner with a grudge and a burned out Narc Cop, as well as do his best to win back the woman he left behind, who has spent her last few years paying a hard price for his mistakes.

Film Overview
"Break Night" is a gripping 2018 motion picture directed by Joel Souza. It presents an in-depth narrative of a male who, in his pursuit to clean his act, encounters unanticipated trouble.

The movie effectively combines components of crime, drama, and secret, using viewers a suspense-filled journey.

Plot
The movie starts with Jimmy returning to his home town after being away for a long period of time.

Seeking to resolve his issues, Jimmy prepares a 'Break Night', a night where he remains awake to safeguard himself.

Jimmy's enthusiastic plan, however, flips when he spots an opportunity to rob a home. The high stakes break-in might supply him with significant loot, enough to money the honest life he yearns to develop. But unbeknownst to him, the house he targets comes from 'Vann' (Kayleigh Gilbert), an egotistical sociopath. Vann, a drug distributor, is entangled in her problems involving an approaching drug delivery.

Issues and Climax
