While ...See moreQuill, a struggling young journalist, is desperate to revive his stagnant career. Armed with a camera and ambition, he sets his sights on an unassuming Italian restaurant-Callecanto's-a place he suspects of being more than it seems. While discreetly taking photos outside, Quill accidentally witnesses the Callecanto crime family disposing of a body in a shipping container behind the restaurant. He manages to escape, but not unnoticed. The family's enforcer, Lorenzo, and his brother Giovanni identify Quill's vehicle and report back to their boss, Marcelo Callecanto. Determined to silence him, Lorenzo tracks Quill to his newsroom and delivers a thinly veiled threat, warning him to back off. But Quill, driven by the scoop of a lifetime, refuses to let the story go. Later, Quill sneaks back to the restaurant and breaks into one of the shipping containers, uncovering rolled-up blood-soaked rugs hiding corpses-clear evidence of the family's crimes. As he snaps photos, Giovanni and Lorenzo catch him in the act. Despite Quill's pleas and claims that all the evidence is destroyed, they see no way to let him live. In a chilling final confrontation, Lorenzo slashes Quill's throat, ending both his life and his story. His broken camera is tossed onto his body, now wrapped in a rug and added to the others inside the shipping container. The container door closes-sealing away the truth with it. See less
