A young man is attempting to
escape from an unknown
organization that becomes clear
throughout the film. Our hero is
presented as a criminal but the
lines between good and bad become
blurred as the story unfolds.

Contrarily this film will start

with the capture of our hero, a
short, fast sequence that we’re

This film is primarily an

action thriller. It will be a
fast paced adrenal adventure
but devised so that the
audience can identify with our
protagonist and his situation
despite the unusual
circumstances.

We chose to film
here because the
