ASHES UNDER
THE SAND





LOGLINE


When a routine “clean up” goes wrong, a group of low-level criminals hopes to outrun their fate at a cabin in the woods.  Tensions reach a boiling point as old wounds reopen and love, loss, and regret threaten to tear decades of brotherhood apart.

SYNOPSIS


In the suburbs of South Brooklyn, Ray, Joey, and Carly Boy make an honest living cleaning up after the local mob. When they become the target of a brutal murderer, Ray must make a split-second decision that will change their lives forever. Using their connections within the criminal network, they hide from their pursuers in Upstate New York.

Their own internal struggles only drive them further apart. Joey has plans to start a family, Carly Boy looks after his mother with dementia, and Ray starts to question the violent world in which he came of age. As boredom and isolation set in, it doesn’t take long for them to regress. Trivial moments and childish games explode. The better we know someone, the deeper we can cut.

They learn the life they chose is as cold as the men who inhabit it, and there is no escaping the underworld, only sinking deeper into it.
