Introduction

Nineteen-year-old Tommy lives an unruly life of criminality until he is kidnapped by a stranger. He soon finds himself trapped in a dysfunctional family dynamic, where he is forced to change his behaviour to become a ‘good boy’. Naqqash Khalid’s (In Camera) unsettling screenplay intentionally clouds characters’ motives, accentuating the unbearable suspense as events unfold.
