Synopsis
Bank manager Alan Groombridge is bored with his tedious career and dull home life; he dreams of one day stealing enough money from his employers so he can afford himself total freedom for a single year. He seizes the opportunity when the bank is robbed at gunpoint; however, the dream soon turns sour when the consequences of his reckless actions begin to take hold.
