Time Lock

Synopsis

Time Lock is a tense, expressionistic crime thriller about chance and consequence, pride and self-deception. Mark Kerr is a jaded hotel manager with a gambling problem, sleepwalking through his life until he is tricked into facilitating a jewellery heist at the conference hotel where he works. Held in the basement of the hotel through the night, waiting for the time-lock on the safe to open, Mark's prospects of survival take a turn for the worse when his captor, Cal recognises him as a former teacher who was responsible for his expulsion from school fifteen years before. Mark must now face up to his failings as a man and rediscover his humanity if he is to placate his angry tormentor, protect the hotel staff and guests from harm - and survive the ordeal.
