A film about co-existence and fear in a city of 8 million.
"The Night Owl" is a story of miscommunication and conflict between two neighbors living in New York City. The main character Aaron lives in a small building that was, and to some degree still is, occupied by native working class New Yorkers. After a night out with friends he is awaken by a knock on his door from the downstairs neighbor Leonard, who believes a loud banging is coming from Aaron's apartment. Aaron and Leonard go through a series of increasingly tense interactions leading to devastating consequences.
