Synopsis

John has escaped from prison in a stolen car. In a panic he cons his way into a random apartment where Warwick accommodates him in his suave middle class fashion. Initial pleasantries are shared, yet as the night progresses neither can conceal his true nature. What was assumed is turned upside down, yet Warwick remains the perfect host.
