Richard Cabral is known for End of Watch (2012), Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones (2014) and Walk of Shame (2014), Mayans M.C. (2018-2022), Twisted Metal, (2023) and RZR (2024), among others. 

TIME ALONE traces the parallel journeys of a young man convicted of killing a gang rival and a woman whose son ⁠—⁠ a police officer ⁠—⁠ is murdered in the line of duty. Both end up in places of extreme loneliness: a solitary confinement prison cell and the silent house of the bereaved. As time itself seems to unravel, their tales both contrast and mirror each other, providing answers to each other's questions ⁠—⁠ until they find new doors to life.
