SYNOPSIS
DANIEL, a young homeless man, walks into the laundry room of
a New York apartment building, where JUDITH, in her mid-twenties,
does her laundry, just like she does every Friday night. He
wears his laundry, just like he does every Friday night. Their
ritual cat and mouse game, complete with a loaded gun in the
hands of the "threatened" Judith, begins. But the
rules change when the power goes out.
