on three distinctive journeys which lead him to a dark and sinister truth.

SYNOPSIS

Through a non-linear narrative, SCOTT (22), a young man spending his days in a prison of his own making, pursues to recapture lost time spent with the love of his life, VANESSA (20), a young and beautiful woman. Opening his old chest, he picks up his first item, a postcard, which leads him to an old British Telephone Box before hearing a scream that will haunt him forever. Terrified, he goes to the only place he can: Liverpool Cathedral. Suddenly, Scott finds a similar cell design which returns him to his own. Suiting up, he picks out a second item: his old watch. Heading out for a date with Vanessa, he sees flashes of another life before he sits and waits. When she never arrives, Scott becomes frustrated and returns to the cathedral when he sees something familiar while he wanders the halls, before returning his cell once more. As he goes for another item, he finds a broken shard of glass before setting off to settle things with Vanessa, only to face the reality of what has happened: she died years ago due to natural causes. Outraged, the events turn violent as his mind flashes back to better times. Back in the prison, Scott is confronted by a dark persona as the cycle continues.
