Shooting Shona
Synopsis
Strange things are happening in Belsize Park. Anonymous love letters lie on the kitchen counter. Shona (Sam Burke) has been randomly receiving them for weeks. They make her uncomfortable, only reminding her of how lonely she really is. Her closest friends seem to be moving on in their lives.
One morning, Shona finds the shower running and her flatmate has vanished. It becomes apparent that something horrible may have happened when a sinister man (Daniel Gosling) breaks into her apartment and rummages through the place.
All the while she is certain that she is being followed.
Circumstances draw Shona to meet a mysterious man called Art (Tim Downie), and eventually his odd drug-dealing friend Leon (Blake Biddulph), and they find themselves piecing together the mystery of Shona's missing flatmate.
