Jack Quaid and Amber Midthunder are “dialed in,” making the romantic side of Novocaine work. As previously reported, the Paramount Pictures film Quaid stars as Nate, a regular guy — except for one thing: he can’t feel physical pain.

Jack Quaid and Amber Midthunder were among the actors who attended the Los Angeles premiere of "Novocaine" on Monday.

The hero at the heart of “Novocaine” can't feel pain. The new film in theaters Friday stars Jack Quaid as Nate, an ordinary guy whose disability becomes his saving grace when attempting to save a hostage from violent criminals.
