A man (Gavin) who lost his wife and daughter begins to meet Shana, a woman married to a fanatically religious Catholic who tries to introduce him and his friend Chris to the cult of God. Soon, Gavin and Shana's relationship is discovered, and circumstances lead to Gavin being thrown off the roof of a building in the center of the city. A policeman, Hollis, who is going through a rough patch in his life, attempts to stop him from ending it all. The two engage in a conversation, reflecting the lives of each other. Narrated through the flashbacks of the two main characters, 'The Ledge' is a dramatic film with didactic content that invites the audience to reflect on life, love, and the various kinds of relationships between people. Well directed, the plot works, but I guess there was probably an opportunity to push the boundaries more than what was actually done.
