Synopsis
14085 is the number of people killed by guns each year in the US. This film raises the question of how an individual's responsibility can act against criminal behavior and its consequences. In this film we meet several seemingly unconnected characters who are, however, actually interconnected via a gun that travels in a cycle between these various people and creates dangerous situations.
