Liberty Road
In the steamed climate of the Great Recession and a cataclysmic oil spill, a lowly bartender loses his job at a Maryland crab shack the same day his home is foreclosed. Pushed to the brink, he pulls a gun from under the bar and takes aim at his boss. That's when a chain of good deeds, unwittingly begun by the gunman himself, brings the film to an epiphanic conclusion.
