Danger One

In Los Angeles, paramedics Dean and Eric pick up a dying man from a car wreck and find a million dollars hidden in his clothes.

Meanwhile, immigration agent Beckwith is investigating the money smuggling operation connected to the wreck, and a ruthless enforcer, Craddock, is also on Dean and Eric’s trail.

The filmmakers wanted to tell a story about the anxiety and anger of working men and women who fear an uncertain future in an economy they’re told is strong.
