Overview ROCKLAND is the real time account of three days in the life of Frankie Breeze - ex-Marine, ex-biker, ex-husband and father. Breeze, like many Americans circa 1980, has lost his way. He’s marking time, depending on the day and mood, as a college student and cab driver. One morning he picks up a dangerous fare: a major cocaine dealer, Johnny Timbro, who wants to retire alive with a handsome pension, courtesy of twelve kilos stolen from his masters. He’s already being hunted and Breeze undertakes to keep him alive. In return Timbro offers Breeze half the proceeds from the skimmed contraband. But the prospect of wealth and a shared attraction with Timbro’s beautiful, estranged wife Dinah seem oddly secondary to Breeze. Saving Timbro becomes a quest, a redemptive task that will somehow put right all that is wrong with his life. This conviction isn’t merely quixotic, it is the sum total of Breeze’s desperation and hope, attested by the escalating mayhem he wreaks. And he will see this journey through to the last deadly confrontation.
