A claustrophobic, philosophically dense portrait of broken men clinging to illusions in a dingy saloon, undone by an unwelcome messenger of harsh truth.

Set in 1912, inside a dive bar named The Last Chance Saloon, its destitute patrons eagerly await the arrival of Hickey, who arrives annually and props everyone up with free drinks and spirited stories of his travels. However, when Hickey does show up this year, it is with a message of temperance and an exhortation to give up hopeless dreams and face reality.
