Journey to the End of the Night is a 2006 independent crime thriller film directed by Eric Eason starring Brendan Fraser, Mos Def, Scott Glenn, Alice Braga and Catalina Sandino Moreno.

In a dark and decadent area of São Paulo, Brazil, exiled Americans Sinatra and his son Paul own a brothel. Paul is a compulsive gambler addicted to cocaine. Sinatra is married to a former prostitute named Angie, with whom he has a son.

A Russian client is killed by his wife in their establishment, leaving behind a suitcase filled with drugs. On the night that they have scheduled a negotiation to sell the contents of the suitcase to African buyers, their go-between dies while having sex with a trans woman named Nazda. In desperation, Sinatra makes a deal with the Nigerian dishwasher of the brothel, Wemba, who is to travel to the harbor of Santos, taking the place of the go-between, and make the sale to the drug dealers. In return, Wemba would receive a large amount of money.

Wemba accepts but, while returning to his car in the harbor, he is attacked by two small-time thieves and knocked unconscious. His lack of contact with Sinatra and Paul starts a chain-reaction of misunderstandings that lead to a tragic end.
