Nine Ten

But when a grainy, homemade VHS tape is dropped into the overnight return bin, the "adult" section becomes the least of Joe's problems. The tape doesn't show a film; it shows the brutal murder of a young woman.¿Joe and his problematic, but hilarious roommate, Newton, find themselves holding the only evidence of a serial killer's work. The situation spirals when Newton, a man whose luck is as thin as his bank account, realizes he owes a debt to local drug dealers that he can't pay. As the dealers close in and the killer begins a deadly game of cat-and-mouse to retrieve the footage, Joe and Newton are forced to navigate a landscape of city freaks and loyal neighborhood types to identify the murderer before they become the next victims. Victims nine and ten.¿As they sift through a list of suspects and quirky locals, the tension of their personal lives mirrors a world on the brink of a paradigm shift. The story reaches its breaking point on the morning of September 11, 2001, when a national tragedy intersects with their final confrontation.
