Pocket

Synopsis

Violently arrested and thrown in jail, Bryan narrates his bizarre life story from the confines of his prison cell. Some kids suck their thumbs or stroke a comforter; this four year old Bryan, however, was into pockets...


Spoiled by his parents, his curious obsession leads to an unnatural infatuation with other people's pockets. That's when the trouble really began.
