The Long Way Back
2020, English. Directed by E.B. Hughes.
For Max Lyons, an ex-con, life is full of gambles. And a series of gambles have led him to the edge of hell. Fresh out of prison, Max ends up at a rundown hotel managed by his old friend Ziggy, the only person he can truly trust. Max has trouble finding a job, and even bigger trouble quitting bad habits. Amid the squalor and bitterness of his sad existence, he meets Sara, a college student who lives in the room next to his. It is she who shows him that a new, brighter future lies ahead of him, giving him the courage to fight his addictions and kick his habits once and for all. Blocking this path, however, is Lucius, a powerful drug lord who Max had ripped off before going to jail. Now, Lucius wants payback. Will Max be able to break old ties and make a new life for himself?
