JACKY PEEK - Synopsis

At only twenty-five, Jacky Peek is experiencing a “mid-life” crisis. After being fired from Able Cards, a greeting card company, he becomes involved in low-level criminal activity to break the routine of his boring, directionless life.

He delivers “specials” (counterfeit money, pirated DVDs and dead cats) for the local newspaper distributor, Saul Weitz, and is teamed up with Stag, a no-nonsense, prostitute-dating thug who has greater aspirations of becoming a Broadway performer. We soon discover that Peek used to date Saul’s niece, Catherine, but passed on the opportunity to assist her in a bank robbery. Catherine is now on the run, leaving Peek paralyzed with regret -- he misses her not the money. Not until he meets an abused woman on a delivery, Anita, and refuses to sell her a gun does Peek begin to discover a deeper sense of purpose.

Placed in Jersey City, this non-stop, offbeat tale examines the defining choices we make and their inescapable consequences; relationships in their various stages of decay; the isolating effects of classism and the stifling impact of routine and regret. With its colorful cast and edgy dialogue, “Jacky Peek” explores the ways in which people make sense of the life-terms they have been dealt in an often-confusing world.
