In Case of Emergency

Set at the height of the Great Recession, In Case of Emergency tells a true story of personal crises—both past and present—that take place between the disparate worlds of adolescence and adulthood. Flashing between the summer of 2009 and the winter of 1994, Matthew Newton recounts his experience of working a dead-end job in the kitchen of a Holiday Inn karaoke bar and the circumstances that landed him there.
