Description: On the outskirts of Edinburgh, with no job, no money and no prospects, Sean exists on the margins of society with his sister Alice. Alice has accepted money from loan sharks to fund her taste for life's little luxuries but now they want it back. Sean takes a menial job to try and help his sister but is confronted by two mysterious bankers who want him to play a game: avoid being captured through the night and he will be given enough money to solve all his problems. Sean soon realises that the stakes are higher than he imagined.
