EXIT
An alcoholic cop on the edge struggles to maintain his sanity when confronted by the wheelchair bound ex-con he shot and crippled for life years earlier.
For troubled, poetry spouting, NYPD detective Bill Blake, it's a day to day, hour to hour, minute by minute battle to overcome his demons and remain sober. He not only falls for the wrong girl, the beautiful and bewitching confidential informant, Mary Brown, but draws the ever-watchful eye of the Internal Affairs Department, headed by Lt. Russell. Add to that a series of execution style murders that have him and his partner, Ray Simpson, baffled, and, as he approaches one year of sobriety, any sense of clarity seems ready to vanish in an escalating crossfire of tension and regret. For little does he know, Bill Blake's past is about to come full circle and haunt him day and night in the form of wheelchair bound ex-con Anton Leonard.
Fifteen years ago, Blake, a rookie beat cop, stumbled upon the aftermath of a daring diamond heist, the so called "Mallek's Millions Job", and dutifully chased down Leonard, the robbery's brilliant mastermind.
Cornering him in Central Park, the young officer was left with little choice but to shoot the knife wielding thug several times in order to rescue a hostage. Blake was hailed for his bravery as a hero, while Leonard, crippled for life, was broken apart inside, and then sent up the river to rot in a prison cell. But now, having been released inexplicably early, the demented old man not only moves in next door to Blake, but seemingly settles right into the troubled detective's very tortured psyche, serving as a daily reminder to the guilt-ridden cop of his past actions and mistakes. Blake is pushed over the edge, soon binge drinking again into the wee small hours, and falling into a deep despair even as he tries to hunt down his main suspect in the homicides, Luther Messenger, a low level drug dealer. As the IAD probe widens and his alcoholism worsens, Blake butts heads with Captain Rodney Beck, a bullying Narcotics chief, who delights in humiliating the overly sensitive cop at every turn and thwarting his pursuit of Luther.
When Mary, for all intents and purposes, Blake's "muse", is arrested, his lone inspiration, his last reason for living, is snuffed out. Blake turns his attention back to Leonard in an entirely unhealthy way, fixating his unstable mind on his seemingly harmless and handicapped new neighbor. Struggling to maintain his sanity and wracked with guilt every time he passes him in the hallway, Blake confronts him, daring him to profess his inner feelings of resentment and hatred. But the coy Leonard is secretly playing a deadly game, working behind the scenes to manipulate Blake and at the same time recover and fence his hidden loot with the help of a mysterious benefactor.
More execution style murders pile up, all of the victims with connections to the fabled "Mallek Job", and a shocking secret about Leonard is revealed, pushing Blake's mania to the point of no return, forcing him to formulate a rather cold and calculating plan. The only one guaranteed to bring him the relief he so desperately seeks... Murdering the old man next door. As his longtime drinking buddy, Dyke Waller, earnestly tries to unravel the mystery behind all the apparent mind games, Blake seems hell bent on a collision course with madness.
Will he maintain his sanity long enough to find the truth?
Or is this merely a darkly poetic soul for the ages, searching against the odds for salvation, sublimely, yet fated by the gods, for... EXIT... untimely.
EXIT.
Within the rhyme, lies the reason. Within the madness, the method.
