In the summer of 1994, eighteen-year-old Liam is torn between a punk show with Clare and one last beach night with friends before they leave for college. When he impulsively steals his sister's Blazer to attempt both, a crash on Orange County's busiest interchange introduces him to Percy-a mysterious giant who exists outside of time.
As Liam struggles to get the damaged car across town, the night transforms into a surreal journey. He encounters enigmatic guides along the way: Winnie, with her philosophical photographs and metal tiger, and Julius, who helps him see beyond his illusions.
When an altercation with skinheads forces Liam and his friends to flee through industrial Fullerton, the night takes another unexpected turn. Throughout this chaotic journey, connections form and secrets surface that challenge Liam's understanding of his relationships and future.
ORANGE CRUSH blends authentic coming-of-age drama with magical realism, capturing both the specific texture of 90s youth culture and the timeless challenge of standing at the threshold of adulthood, unsure of which way to step.
