(Work in Progress)

Aris, a 30 year old former lawyer who's always lived in his father's shadow, it trying to jumpstart his career. He's forced to take a job as a messenger until, one day, he's attacked by a stranger in an abandoned stately home and collapses, unconscious. When he comes round, he realizes he's strapped with explosives and a receiver. The tasks assigned to him by the voice on the other end of the line force him to reassess all his life choices and everything he thought he knew about his past. Within a few hours, he's on a relentless survival race against time, a narrative device cleverly manipulated by the directors to build a solid action thriller full of plot twists.
