Q:Build a movie plot around this: What does Jack find after he comes to a stop by a deer crossing sign? A dead human body with a mutilated face.
A:
The film involves a series of interconnected events that converge around two car-related accidents at 11:14 p.m. The connections between the events are not apparent at first, but are gradually revealed by a series of progressively receding flashbacks:Part 1[edit]11:13 - 11:33Jack (Henry Thomas), who has been drinking, is seen driving along a road at night talking on his cell phone.

When the officer checks with dispatch, he finds that Jack's license has been revoked for driving under the influence. Hannagan tells Jack that he is under arrest and that his car will be impounded. When he finds the body in the trunk, Hannagan handcuffs Jack with a cable tie and tells the two people already in the back of the cruiser, Duffy (Shawn Hatosy) and Buzzy (Hilary Swank), to move over so that Jack will fit.
