Based on actual events and
shot on the freezing cold streets of Chicago for $60,000,
Under The City follows the attempted redemption of Nate
Mayott (played by Australian newcomer Dean Rabaiov), a
semi-reformed, thirty year-old, ex-con with a dark past
trying to rebuild his family and maintain his freedom
who is thrust into the violent underworld of the Chicago
sex trade- where anything can be bought or sold if the
price is right and the demand is there. Which it is. Piece
by piece, Nate sells his soul for freedom until he is
finally backed into an impossible corner and must kidnap
an innocent little girl in order to save his own. Under
The City's central focus is love, self-realization and
the frightening prospect that the vulnerability needed
to fall in love can be more terrifying than facing a loaded
gun, and how the desire to have a "normal life", for some,
is pure fantasy. |
