Synopsis
Oldboy
With no clue how he came to be imprisoned, drugged and tortured for 15 years, a desperate man seeks revenge on his captors.
Road
Two exes take a dual-purpose road trip: allow Margaret (Catherine Kellner), a freelance photographer, to complete her assignment to check up on toxic waste sites along the U.S.-Canadian border, and deliver Jay (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) home to his mother's house in Detroit. The trip takes a turn for the weird as they begin to suspect they are trapped.
