Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Based on the real 2001 Chante Mallard case in Texas, where a nurse's aide hit a homeless man and left him dying in her garage for two days. She was sentenced to 50 years.
Gordon explicitly intended this as Bush-era America allegory—compassionate conservatism literally running over the vulnerable and driving home to dinner. The nursing home subplot isn't subtle.
