<1000 Character Synopsis (997 character, 176 word)

Quicksand is a "bromantic comedy" about college grads Ray (Tanner Presswood) and Paul (Simon Elias), two best friends and co-best men in their friend’s wedding. When Ray is dumped by the girl he was about to break up with, and Paul finds out his new job in an just unpaid internship, their personal spirals are forced to take a backseat when they discover they’ve failed their ultimate duty as best men; they’ve lost the bride’s wedding ring just days before the wedding. To avoid admitting the mistake, Ray and Paul embark on an increasingly treacherous road trip to retrieve it on time. When the ring’s new owner refuses to return it quietly, they feel they have no option but to steal the ring from him and hope to survive the consequences that follow. This wild departure from their post-college expectations accelerates into a loud exploration of life, love, and how to not die, as Ray and Paul muster everything and everyone they know to try to make it back to the wedding alive and on time.
