The Debt

Retired safecracker Geoff Dresner (Warren Clarke, Dalziel and Pascoe) thought his criminal past was behind him for good, but when his witless son-in-law (Martin Freeman, The Office, The Robinsons) fails to repay a ruthless loan shark, violent threats force Geoff to take on one last job to protect his family - one last job that goes terribly wrong.

Caught between a desperate detective (Hugo Speer, The Full Monty) who is determined to prove him guilty and an inexperienced young lawyer (Lee Williams, New Street Law) unequal to his defense, Geoff becomes both hostage and pawn in a tangled web of deceit and manipulation. As backroom deals conspire to threaten his freedom, Geoff must maneuver smartly in order to repay his debts - to his family, himself and society.
