A claustrophobic psychological thriller about a paranoid man whose obsessive self-documentation becomes both his shield and his undoing when the one tape that could save him vanishes.

Sean Veil is an ultra paranoid murder suspect who takes to filming himself round the clock to provide an alibi, just in case he's ever accused of another crime. Problems arise however when the police do come calling and the one tape that can prove his innocence has mysteriously disappeared.
