A Fox in the Night

Synopsis

A south London story in which opposites attract, appearances deceive and bravery reaps rewards.
Excited for a night out on the town, flamboyant and confident Lewis is suddenly cautious and uncomfortable when a friend asks him to pick up a little something from his dealer, Daniel. On arrival, Lewis is confronted with an unexpected invitation, and an unexpected connection. With an Uber on the way and daily life creeping back in, Lewis walks away with a different perception of the world around him, leaving Daniel with an invitation of his own.
