What is Black Rabbit about?
Black Rabbit is an action-packed thriller following the complicated relationship of estranged brothers, Jake and Vince Friedken.
Coming from a difficult, working-class background, Jake has made his name as the owner of fancy New York City Hotspot, The Black Rabbit.
However, his lucrative and successful life comes under threat when his impulsive and reckless brother suddenly makes a reappearance, bringing with him danger and violence that threaten to tear Jake and The Black Rabbit down to the ground.
Released in September 2025, Black Rabbit explores bonds between brothers, the effects of the past and childhood defining who you become as an adult, the cost of success and discussions around power dynamics.
It is partially and very loosely inspired by the true events of New York City eatery The Spotted Pig, which became embroiled in a #MeToo scandal in 2017.
