Struggling photographer Sean (Sheehan) funds his lifestyle with his job as a valet, which he then uses to break into people’s houses and burgle them. One evening, he attempts a robbery on the luxurious mansion of the wealthy Cale Erendreich (Tennant), but when he gets there he finds a woman (Condon) chained up to the wall. Attempts to free her before Cale comes home fail, as do attempts to inform the police, which leave him and his life to be ruined by a vengeful Cale…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

David Tennant goes complete psycho on poor Robert Sheehan’s ass in this disturbing thriller about the very worst things that humans can do to one another, all in the name of petty vengeance.
