    Meet Lambert (Julian Sands) - a man searching for something more in his life. He meets Kellan (Art Malik) who makes an incredible offer - Lambert can escape to the world of his deepest desire, his most secret fantasy, all he has to do is hand over everything he owns. Lambert returns to his every day life of comfortable domesticity with Sarah (Olivia Williams) and workplace stress. As dark clouds gather in his life we wonder if Lambert will take Kellan’s offer and what is it, exactly, that he’s escaping from?

The piece was designed to be atmospheric and unnerving, with emphasis on the psychological journey Lambert’s character is going through as he battles with an unwavering desire to escape his reality and be lost in his fantasy
