Synopsis

A casual encounter with a stranger brings our hero, Adam, to the attention of powerful, unseen forces. They take away his job as an IT teacher and follow his every move. Adam does not know it but the stranger he met in a bar planted evidence of an affair with a gay Royal. Forced to go on the run, Adam turns to the only two people he thinks he can trust: his disapproving father and a female reporter, Amy.

Amy was Adam's teenage girlfriend, and he broke her heart when he told her he was gay. With few resources, and an increasingly desperate and murderous adversary, Adam has to dig deep and become a hero as he searches for the truth.

Kevin and Cassandra are a married couple who have lost their only daughter Hannah in a freak car accident. They both raised her differently. Kevin had been a traditional parent, Cassandra a permissive one. While Hannah had decided to exhibit her body and mind online, she cut adrift from her father and gravitates towards her mother. Her death drove a wedge between them. Their lounge becomes a battlefield where incendiary words and spiteful things are said. Their marriage is one where opposites no longer attract. Kevin is filled with loathing for his in-laws, his daughter’s boyfriend, himself. Cassandra wears her daughter’s favorite colours with pride and exhibits her painting on the walls. Kevin finds he is powerless in his home and Cassandra mocks the fact that it was her father who bought it. And when he finally leaves it, he leaves Cassandra forever.
