Doorways

Synopsis

Doorways is a story about a week in the life of two English Pub Doormen, one who is innocently on a path to find his masculinity, the other holds a dark secret and is on the edge of losing his mind.

Inspired by our writer ‘working the doors’ for over 10 years, Doorways is a story about Craig, a life-long bouncer, it’s all he knows. He is also on a path of self-destruction and years of abuse are coming back to haunt him in a week from hell. He is questioning his own sanity and own reality. The last thing he needs to be is a student.

The Student is on a path of self-discovery. He is searching for his masculinity. But he will find many answers to questions he didn’t need to know; defining who he is as a man as Craig takes him on a ride that eventually descends into the depths of human depravity.

Will Craig break him? or will he rescue Craig’s heart?
