Plot

One Saturday afternoon, Tom Meron, happily married father of two with a nice house and good job receives a phone call from his friend Jack Calley, a high-flying city lawyer. In the call Tom can hear Jack being murdered; his last words being the first two lines of Tom's address. Terrified and confused Tom grabs his children and flees his house just in time as a car pulls up outside and three men get out; obviously looking for him. Things soon get worse as after leaving his children with his mother-in-law he goes to find his wife only to be attacked in her offices by a balaclava wearing knifeman. Escaping with his life he is then arrested by the police on suspicion of murder.
