An abrupt career upheaval leads to an unexpected offer of work experience at an elusive detective agency run by the hard-bitten PI, Quint. Soon Oscar and Stephen are charged with staking out the home and tracking the movements of an eccentric man seemingly connected to one of Quint's cases. However, events take a disturbing turn and the two apprentice investigators come to realise they are entangled in an affair far more sinister than they imagined; a dangerous predicament marked by a series of bizarre escapades that force Oscar to finally confront his traumatic past...
