Homeless and adrift on a sprawling space station, he scrapes by dumpster to dumpster, haunted by his gambling addiction and desperate for a way out. When a stranger offers him a shot at redemption -or ruin- Cyrus takes it: deliver a briefcase, walk away, and collect his payment. "The Pit" - Out Now!
