Synopsis:
On a deserted crossroad, Tarek is waiting for the illegal immigrant trafficker Faruk to hand him over his long lost girlfriend. The exchange goes bad and Faruk threatens Tarek with deadly consequences. There is nothing left for Tarek to do but hide his girlfriend in the trunk of his car and escape the city before Faruk sends his minions to haunt him down. While Tarek nervously navigates the busy streets through the city, an off-duty Police officer, Gabriel, starts to follow. Tarek speeds up, attempting to escape the relentless Gabriel. He abandons his car by an old vacant factory and escapes on foot inside. But Gabriel is hard on his heels, while Tarek’s girlfriend remains locked in the trunk of his car. In the heat of the chase, the two men become trapped together in the factory basement. They soon realize they may need each other to get out. Trapped in and torn apart, they may have no choice but to come together, in order to survive. But can they overcome what brought them there in the first place?
