Plot Summary: A modern-type horror/thriller set in present day Britain about an unknown organisation who have captured multiple victims and look after them in the basement of a miscallaneous building in the city. Our film follows one victim who is captured during an alarming investigation about the company, and his experience as he is tortured with many others in a hotel-like set built above the basement. What is the company, who are the torturers and what is their reasons for the random capturings of innocent men? Are they so random after all or are they connected in some way?

Opening Sequence Summary: Our opening two minutes depicts a future moment in the film with our main victim already captured. He wakes up confused and has a conversation with an unknown man suspected of being his capturer. The victim asks too many questions and feels the wrath of his capturer for the first time as he puts him to sleep and leaves the basement. We know nothing more about the characters but find out there is more than one victim in the basement, and there is blood! Our film will continue in the past from this point, showing how the characters got to this point and then showing what happens after this point.
