Tension Rising
A pulse-pounding collection of shorts that plunge into high-stakes, fight-or-flight moments where every choice is urgent and survival hangs in the balance.
G.S.W.
A man is dying from a self-inflicted gunshot wound when the paramedic (Genevieve O'Reilly) treating him discovers he's the perpetrator of a school shooting at her child's primary school, which puts her in an impossible situation.
One Twenty-Six
Evan tries to outshine his best friend and prove himself to the seniors by taking them on a high-speed joy ride in his mom's Mini Cooper.
A Passage of Silence
Working surveillance for the oppressive regime in Iran, a father's loyalty is tested when his son needs help escaping regime agents.
The Lifeline
December 24, 1916. A truck carrying mail is stopped at a German checkpoint and riddled with bullets. Inside, a man lies dead. Another man and a woman, on a postal mission, claim innocence in the death of their companion and their presence in enemy territory. The radio that had been guiding them had apparently cut out, leaving them stranded in no man's land. And so, on Christmas Eve 1916, a cross-examination begins to uncover the real reason why enemy postmen and couriers are in the trenches.
Homing
On the south coast of England, a family's morning is interrupted. A man is in the garden. Is he in need of help or is he a threat?
A Breach Within
On a sweltering morning, a detective heads to a routine meeting - but within minutes, her life changes forever.
