Snake

Synopsis

A surgeon cuts through the tattoo of a snake devouring itself. It's a tattoo he's seen before and his past is coming back to haunt him. Seven years have passed since he waited for a prostitute in a seedy King's Cross hotel. He wanted her body but not for sex. Snake is a darkly comic tale about three ordinary people who will go to extraordinary lengths to get what they want. The question is can they be blamed for it?
