Synopsis

Two private bankers, Alistair (Dougray Scott) and Jamie (Alastair MacKenzie), with the world seemingly at their feet, get their kicks from playing a 12-hour game of hunt, hide and seek with kids from the margins of society.

Their next target is Sean (James Anthony Pearson), a parentless teenager who lives with his sister, Alice (Liz White) on a housing estate on the outskirts of Edinburgh. She's in debt and he's going nowhere fast. Sean is approached to play the game for cash. With no other option, he agrees to play but soon realises he's walked into twelve hours of hell where survival is the only aim of the game.
