Storyline

A smart and intense movie starring Stephen Mackintosh as J, the unwitting hero. It is a fast-moving tale of claustrophobic conspiracy, twisting and turning through a shadowy and sinister plot.

J leads an uneventful life, but after meeting a mysterious blonde in a bar he can’t believe his luck when she’s back at this place at 2am drinking vodka. What he has not foreseen is that his apparent good fortune will plunge him into a nightmare world of murder, extortion and corruption.

Discovering her brutally murdered in his bed – then arrested, he incredulously learns he is the number one suspect. Confused and afraid, J ricochets from one moment to the next, intent only on clearing his name and staying alive.

This raw and edgy thriller is a must-see movie – featuring superb perfromances by Bernard Hill, Eddie Izzard, Natasha Little and Holly Aird.

The storyline was taken from the DVD cover.
