Tuesday in Jersey

Synopsis:
A retired hockey player kidnaps the paralyzed playwright who drove the car that killed his ex-girlfriend. Through the course of the hostage situation a play is written in her honor, but more importantly, real wounds both men suffer from are addressed. The Super of the building makes an appearance as a moderator of sorts for the creative process.
