The Iceman Cometh

A persuasive salesman helps a group of underachieving patrons at a dilapidated bar to abandon their unattainable aspirations and confront the brutal realities of their existence.

In 1912, Hickey arrives at 'The Last Chance Saloon' to convince patrons to abandon their dreams and find peace by facing reality. He targets Larry Slade, a former anarchist who's lost his passion for life, and his young companion Parritt. As the night unfolds, Hickey's words have a profound impact, slowly destroying everyone's faith and dreams. The group's anger builds, leading to revelations about Hickey's wife and the iceman, causing him to question his own convictions.
