A Deal is a Deal

London subway driver Paul (Mackenzie Crook - BBC's The Office, Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy) has had two unfortunate accidents in as many weeks. Traumatized but completely blameless, his fellow drivers inform him of the 'Three Strike' rule; three fatal accidents within a month and you're out of a job ... but with a huge pay off! A chance meeting with suicidal Tommy (Colm Meaney - Layer Cake, Star Trek: Next Generation) starts Paul thinking about rigging the system and cashing in. Paul and Tommy strike a bargain and the deal is set. But after a weekend spent tying up loose ends together, the men each find something that has eluded them both for years -- true friendship. But on Monday morning, they are back to the reality of the deal they struck. And a deal is a deal.

Also starring Oscar-nominee Imelda Staunton (Vera Drake) and Gemma Arteton (featured in the upcoming Bond film Quantum of Solace). Directed by Jonathan Gershfield. (Feature; 95 min.)
