Synopsis
A white man stranded on the side of the road. A black man
speeding by in an SUV….An act of kindness with fatal repercussions... A
mysterious backpack…And a twist that will leave you staggering. Two
strangers, harboring dark secrets and deceitful motives, learn how much
can change in just thirty miles.
30 Miles follows two men
of different race and background on a pressure-cooker trip. Ernie, a
down-on-his-luck drifter, and Anthony (Lawrence-Hilton Jacobs, “Welcome
Back, Kotter,”) a successful Hollywood agent, find their fates
intertwined after a chance meeting. As the men reveal intimate details of
their pasts, guards are let down and emotions are left unchecked. But as
day turns to night, and in the desert that buries all secrets, it
becomes apparent that this is no random journey down the highway.
