Terminal

Synopsis

A dark, dystopian city, shrouded in darkness. In a vicious and volatile world reminiscent but not recognisable as our own, two apparently unconnected stories are unfolding across one rain swept night, twisting and interweaving around one another with unexpected consequences. Two assassins with a sinister mission, a fatally ill teacher, an enigmatic janitor and a waitress with a double life. Murderous consequences unravel as their lives meet at the hands of a criminal mastermind wanting revenge...
Vince and Alf, streetwise gangsters and merciless assassins, are locked in an apartment, waiting to carry out a hit. A series of mysterious black briefcases containing bizarre clues has led them on a strange quest around the city; from cafes to strip clubs, from rooftops to abandoned tower blocks, and finally to the cramped confines they find themselves trapped in. Dirty, dishevelled and bored to their bones, they have been stuck inside for weeks with nothing but each other for company. Sick to death of tinned soup and each other, the duo snarl and squabble, bicker and fight, driving one another to the brink of insanity as they wait to carry out their kill, nerves on edge and tempers frayed…
