Stuck in traffic on his way to his daughter's birthday party, Foster reaches a breaking point and decides to abandon his car and walk through the city, determined to make it to his daughter's celebration by any means necessary.

As Foster journeys through the city, he encounters a series of escalating conflicts and confrontations with various individuals and societal institutions, including a Korean store owner, a gang of thugs, a neo-Nazi, a homeless man, and a police officer, played by Robert Duvall. Foster's actions become increasingly violent and erratic as he unleashes his frustrations and pent-up anger on those around him, exposing the dark and disturbing underbelly of society.
