Subscribe FreeBased on the novel by John O’Brien, Cage stars as Ben Sanderson, an avowed alcoholic who drinks away his family, friends and his job. With deliberate resolve, he burns the remnants of his life and heads for Las Vegas to end it all in one final binge. On the strip, he picks up a street-smart hooker named Sera (Shue) in what might be another excess in his self-destructive life. Instead, their chance meeting becomes a respite on the road of oblivion as they form a immutable and mysterious bond.
