What begins as a personal journey of late-life reckoning becomes a noir-tinged meditation on memory, mortality, and the search for purpose. By turns darkly funny and melancholic, Fells Point captures a soul—and a city—at a crossroads. Daniel Doyle Jr., a jaded, middle-aged corporate communications flack in Baltimore, is drifting through life under a literal death sentence: a congenital heart defect that could take him any day. Determined to reclaim some meaning, he sets out to truly see and understand his city for the first time, creating a “bucket list” of cultural landmarks, lost institutions, and personal haunts across Baltimore. But as he traverses the city’s past and present, he realizes he’s being followed by a mysterious stranger who seems to appear wherever he goes. Is it paranoia, coincidence, or something more sinister?
