Written and directed by Jack Lambert, this WORM'S EYE Productions film portrays one night shift for two police officers, Mick and Tim, who are tasked with a very simple job: sit and wait. For half an hour their only mission is to stay patient and focused, and in the dark quiet of the night, how can they possibly get distracted...?
