New Town Killers
Thriller about a council estate kid who agrees to play a sick game of hide-and-seek with an investment banker. If he survives the night, he wins a hefty cash prize.
Alistair - an icewater-veined financier - gets his kicks by targeting human prey. His modus operandi involves bringing in an innocent candidate for a new job, Jamie Stewart and demanding as a prerequisite that the two play a mysterious game together. They must find a down-and-outer and challenge him to escape from their clutches over the course of one long and fateful night. The 'prey' on this occasion is Sean McDonald, an inner-city teen with problems.
