The movie, playing at the Hoboken International Film Festival in Greenwood Lake, is playing Tuesday, May 23 at 8 p.m.

The plot centers on Ryan, out of a job and dumped by his girlfriend, and his efforts to rebuild his life with the last source of income that he has — a few apartments in a low-rise condo complex that sit in the shadows of the city's most expensive casino. 

Unfortunately, Ryan's tenants don’t want to pay him. In order to get his money, he has to take on a pair of Chechen animal trainers with underworld ties, a rap star who parties so hard the neighbors can’t sleep, and a struggling single mother who steals his heart.

Go to www.hobokeninternationalfilmfestival.com for more information. The Festival runs from May 19 to 25 at Thomas Morahan Waterfront Park. Films are screened outdoors at the Park or at the Elks Club in Greenwood Lake.
