Plot Outline: There was a large bank robbery involving four masked men five and a half years ago and neither men nor money were found afterwards. however the police weren't the only ones experiencing problems with this robbery, one of the four men had made off with all the money to a safe house without telling the others. the other three spend months and what becomes years eventually tracking him down until they find him and extract the location of the house from him. The only problem now is that the house had been sold, to a girl in London (Karen) and he hadn't told them where in the house the money was. They then brake into the house, kidnap the girl and search the house. After not being able find the money they return to question the girl but she has gone. the rest of the film then follows her struggle to try and find safety after being pursued by the bank robbers and leaves the audience asking if she will live long enough to get to a reliable police station and whether the men will be caught or not?

Conflict: This film is full of conflict, whether it's between the robbers themselves, or the robbers when                           questioning other people about Karen, or even Karen herself when she is put in the most extreme                 of scenarios.
