In this neon-noir, Gabe, a quiet twenty-something, works at a small independent movie theater called The Waldorf. The pay is bad and the showings are never more than half full, but Gabe doesn't care, because The Waldorf is the only place where he can experience the neon blue smoke- a wintergreen pleasure that rolls off the film screen like the sweetest drug.
Gabe's life is thrown into disarray when The Waldorf is closed, and he can no longer get his fix of smoke.
Choosing to leave his one true love behind, Gabe sets out to find another theater that can conjure a sensation that he's become addicted to.
During Gabe's road trip, his motorcycle breaks down, so he checks into The Dorchester Motor Inn until it can be fixed. While staying at the motel, Gabe meets Becky, who was instructed by a bizarre entity to meet with him. Together, the couple realizes that they might both be experiencing the same high strangeness, and this begins a search for answers.
Neon Blacktop confronts such topics as the death of cinema culture, the rise in conspiracy theories, and the struggle of how to find the truth in a world overflowing with disinformation.
Neon Blacktop is written in the tradition of the films of Richard Kelly, so lovers of Donnie Darko and The Box will find their craving for deeply emotional sci-fi satisfied in this story that is both intimate and sprawling.
