In this electrifying and darkly comedic Hollywood neo-noir, an artist has an ominous encounter with a drifter in the desert, which gets taken to shocking extremes when the drifter follows him back to his privileged L.A. home life.

Thomas is a brooding artist in a spiritual funk who leaves the comfort of his Hollywood Hills home to spend a few days in the Mojave Desert. Before long, though, he meets Jack, a dangerous, chameleon-like drifter who resents Thomas' wealth and privilege. After a heated campfire conversation, Thomas tries to get away from Jack but in the process accidentally ends up killing an innocent stranger.

Jack witnesses the murder and decides to follow Thomas home, adopting a new identity and relentlessly pursuing Thomas, holding his dark secret over his head as he attempts to infiltrate and destroy his seemingly-perfect life. Thomas must come to terms with his own insecurities and self-doubt to protect himself and his family, and go head-to-head with his nemesis in a riveting two-man clash that plays out in exciting and unexpected ways.

Reviews

“Prickly, suspenseful, even coolly humorous, "Mojave” finds noirish fun in the existential woes of a successful artist and old-fashioned movie pleasure in the parry and thrust of sharp dialogue." – L.A Times

“Monahan's sense of humor is as dark and bitter as a burnt espresso, and he has a taste for grim violence. But he still has a great deal of feeling for his characters, and that's the key to Mojave.” – TIME Magazine

“Film noir enthusiasts should get a kick out of Poe Dameron playing Max Cady.” – Boston Herald
