“Better Off” explores one night in the lives of Eli and his best friend Danny. Eli’s girlfriend is pregnant, and in a fit of terror and fear, he ran out. Danny meets Eli at a nearby truck-stop, where Eli is about to leave town. He does his best to convince his friend to stay, not just for the child, but because Danny loves Eli, and has for years.
