Suburbia (1997) - Movie Synopsis & Plot

Amidst a featureless wasteland of asphalt, concrete and brick, through sprawling arrays of power lines, tract homes and strip malls, beneath the constant drone of traffic and within an all-encompassing air of quiet desperation, the denizens of suburbia pursue their perfectly ordinary lives, searching for meaning in a world marked by its utterly unremarkable sameness, day after day, night after night, block after block, forever. But... Perhaps not.

On a perfectly ordinary corner, outside a perfectly ordinary convenience store, on a perfectly ordinary night, the Extrordinary sometimes comes calling. And on one such night, in one such place, the return of one of suburbia's prodigal sons - the Lucky One Who Escaped - offers a glimpse of What Might Be to those less-fortunate souls he left behind... A bitter pill for some, a revelation for others.
