Set in the south, the vulnerable Mary, a waitress at the local diner, has resigned her fate to such. She constantly struggles with her drunkard mother, Edna, and Robert, her manager. The diner is a void, with Mary at the center; until a black angel, Dallas, appears with an agenda—through a robbery, instill something in Mary to get her on the chase for destiny. Darkly comedic, and completely over the top, ‘The Graveyard Shift,’ captures the essence of coming of age while exploring a bizarre black night in the middle of nowhere, leading to a soul’s foundation.
