Project Detail

Dead Fish

Synopsis

Location: present-day London through the eyes of a humble key cutter, Abe (Andrew Lee Potts).

Date: not his best day

None of these were on his wish list:

1. Mimi (Elena Anaya), his Spanish girlfriend, announces she is pregnant and storms off to Madrid.
2. Debt collector Danny Devine (Robert Carlyle) gives Abe 24 hours to pay of his debts 'or else'.
3. Switching cell phones with Lynch (Gary Oldman), a neurotic hit man.
4. Being wanted dead by at least 2 assassins.
5. Getting a contract to kill a Dead Fish.

Abe has to get through the day, without being killed or killing anyone, earning enough dough to pay back Devine and most importantly making sure he doesn't lose the girl he loves.
