Arrested for fighting, recovering alcoholic Talal awakes to find himself under lock and key at a run-down small-town jail. And without a wallet and ID card on him, facing a 48-hour wait for his court hearing, Talal is with his back to the wall. But as if that weren't enough, Talal's predicament will take an unexpected turn when enigmatic Officer Dabaan walks into the police station in the dead of night, turning the prisoner into his plaything. As a white-knuckle battle of wills begins, Talal must keep it together to turn the tables on the sadist in uniform and have a fighting chance of saving his family. Can Talal play the psychopath's dangerous game to the bitter end?—Nick Riganas
