Tomorrow Night Plot Summary

What happens in Tomorrow Night from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 13 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 2-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

Charles, a misanthropic and obsessive owner of a photography shop, leads a solitary life and quietly sustains a private, unsettling habit by sitting in a bowl of ice cream at night. When a flood of unclaimed prints accumulates, he begins phoning customers to remind them to pick up their photographs, turning a routine duty into a strange ritual of connection.

One of these customers is Florence, Martha Greenhouse, an elderly woman tormented by her gambling-addicted husband Joseph Dolphin Lester. She longs for her son Willie, Greg Hahn, who joined the army two decades ago and has not received any of her letters; in truth, he is the unwitting target of a long-running cruel joke by the Army mail-room workers who have withheld his mother’s correspondence for years.
