Alligator Alley is the story of James Conrad, who is spending his 50th birthday alone in South Florida. He decides to take a drive along the famed Alligator Alley into the depths of the Everglades, ostensibly in search of memories of his great uncle, who left his family to live on a Seminole Indian reservation. In the course of that exploration, Conrad discovers his small town definition of success may be a ruse.
