- Synopsis
- The Contract centre’s on the character of NICK DAYTON a successful Hedge Fund trader, a quiet, smart, regimented man who is accustomed to controlling his environment. Nick is confronted by a band of Squatters” who have taken over his home. He is thrust into the world of London’s criminal class that is so hellish, so fraught with danger that it will tax every fibre of Nick’s being and eventually awaken that part of his soul that has grown dead and limp. Nick will have grown ten‐fold as a man, and will come to realize that the values and abilities that defined him in his financial world are ineffectual in the dark world he is forced to encounter. “The Contract” is a hard‐hitting “street” film. It’s a fast pace gritty film as Nick is pitted against an array of street hustlers and con men. Nick is joined in this journey by Erika, a hypnotic beauty in her 20s, a woman who has lost her memory in a violent accident and is being hunted by small‐time gangsters because she has something that they want. Nick is drawn into her dilemma and her seedy, violent world. For the sake of his own life and hers, he must piece together the jigsaw puzzle of her confused mind and rescue them both from harm.
  An exciting British cast has been brought together for this action-packed thriller. Robert Fucilla (Mercenaries, Shank) plays Nick with Sarah Armstrong as Erika. They are joined by Danny Web (Redemption, Valkyrie), Isabelle Allen (Les Miserables), Nicky Evans (Shameless), Patrick Ryecart (The Kings Speech) and Dean Bardini (The Take).
