Synopsis

Eddie Fleming is a nobody. The sort of person you'd pass in the street without a second glance. At 5am this morning he was at home, asleep. Now he sits in a darkened and locked room. Opposite Eddie is John Steele. He's asking the questions. Eddie's confused, scared and desperately in need of some answers...any answers. Why is he here? Who are these people and what do they want with him? But unknown to Eddie or Steele, there are other forces at work in this psychological drama that explores guilt, innocence and the uncertain nature of the truth.
