Laid off due to a global illness, Byron is barely holding his life together. With eviction looming and his marriage crumbling, he takes a job as a midnight courier at a pandemic hotel for the unhoused, hoping to scrape by. But the gig drags him into the underbelly of a broken system where addiction, desperation, and survival blur.
Running odd and often illicit errands for guests, he soon realizes how thin the line is between stability and the streets. When a deaf woman vanishes and bodies begin disappearing, his suspicions spiral into obsession. Asking the wrong questions has consequences, and after losing everything, Byron finds himself on the other side—beaten down by the same system he thought he was above.
Thanks For The Room is a raw, street-level descent into survival and paranoia, reminiscent of the anxiety-fueled storytelling of the Safdie Brothers.
Great Lakes Connection: The filmmakers are based in Toronto.
