In the Aisles

When the reclusive Christian takes a job working the night shift at a big box store, his new manager teaches him the lay of the land. Christian becomes enamored by his charming but mysterious co-worker Marion, with whom he begins to share flirtatious break room coffees and conversations. But Marion has secrets of her own and when she suddenly goes on sick leave, Christian is tempted to fall into habits of his dark past.
