Synopsis

A neo-noir thriller set against the backdrop of early 2000s Manchester, a city alive with music, fashion and restless youth. At its heart is a close-knit group of students who live for the nightlife, drifting between pubs, clubs and endless parties. Their world shifts when Lois, an old friend of Cat, suddenly reappears. With her beauty, confidence and enigmatic charm, she unsettles the group and immediately captures the attention of James. What begins as fascination quickly spirals into fixation. James becomes enthralled by Lois, unable to resist the pull she exerts on everyone around her. In the end, obsession consumes him, and James finds himself a pawn in something larger and darker than he imagined — a violent game of chess he never agreed to play.
