Synopsis
During a routine walk home through a park, advertising agency executive Murray (David Hewlett) gets lost after fleeing a beggar and runs into Carter (Kevin Duhaney), who demands his wallet. After a struggle, Murray strikes Carter in the face with his briefcase and proceeds to walk away. A small punks gang of teenagers, of which Carter is a member, emerges from the bushes. Murray flees and the gang begins to chase him. Fearing a beating, Murray climbs a tree to evade capture. Despite him throwing down his wallet and watch to them, the gang decides to wait for him to come down.
An attempt to call to other people for help fails, while Murray's mobile phone is in his briefcase at the base of the tree. As night falls, the gang tries various tactics to force Murray out of the tree but find themselves accidentally providing him with weapons and hostages. Murray, in turn, tries to undermine the gang's cohesion and confidence. The night continues and, as events unfold and through dialogue, both Murray and the gang learn more about human life and each other.
