Shift work. Overtime. Part time. Sometimes no time at all.

Charlie Wells punches a time clock like a real person. Like almost everyone else. He stumbles from job to job. Walking away from yet another makes the pattern impossible to ignore. One shift too many. One compromise too far. This life he never meant to choose is his now.

From the overworked, shortchanged side of the American landscape, CUT LOOSE exposes the underbelly of blue-collar noir. Long after the work is done, there is still no stopping, no way out. It is the bone-deep weariness that comes from selling eight-hour stretches of your life, one second at a time.

GET DIRT UNDER YOUR NAILS. THIS MIGHT BE YOUR STORY.
