Animals

Synopsis

Animal rights activist Jade is anxious to get Nick Robinson, the marketing director of a pharmaceutical company, to justify their experimentation on animals so she can post the results on her fledgling website www.justice4animals.tv but all attempts at a serious debate are met with contempt! When hard-line activist Charlie convinces Jade he can get the one-on-one she wants, she agrees, unaware of what this will involve. Kidnap. Imprisonment. Torture.

Locked in a cage, barely able to move, Nick is finally at Jade's mercy as she videos and uploads his arrogant dismissal of her questioning. Realising that Charlie has no intention of changing Nick's view of life but to simply end it, Jade breaks anonymity to warn the police, putting her own life at risk to save another.
