The Kid has no money, no place to live, nowhere to go. He’s done more than he cares to admit just to survive on the streets. The Man has lost the one he loved. He is losing his eyesight. He’s selling all his possessions so nothing will be left to lose. Both are trapped, each alone, until Fate brings them together one windy autumn night.

Safe Journey stars Dennis Dun (The Last Emperor, Big Trouble in Little China) and Jay Michael Ferguson (television shows ER, Buffy the Vampire Slayer). It is a graduate thesis production at University of Southern California in Los Angeles.
