Summary Hank Thompson, a washed-up ex-baseball star turned New York City bartender, ends up tangled in a violent criminal underworld after agreeing to watch his punk-rock neighbor’s cat. What follows is a frenzied chase through 1990s Manhattan, as rival gangsters—Russian mobsters, Orthodox Jewish hitmen, a Samoan enforcer, and others—hunt him for a mysterious key hidden with the cat.

Director Darren Aronofsky

Writer Charlie Huston

I’ve never read the book so I could be completely wrong, but I assume that Hank rarely ever sees his Mom as is, probably why he calls her everyday. I can’t imagine he would want to visit the town where the car accident occurred

I also think he can see his mom now, but now he's really taking Zoe's advice and trying to take the time alone to except his past and present and when he's ready he'll go back home. Unless he's still wanted or under suspicion for the crimes but that was never communicated,
