Waiting for the Out

Philosophy teacher Dan’s first day working in prison hits harder than expected - awakening something paternal, and revealing he’s underestimated both his students and his past.

Dan is plunged into a tense rescue mission and glimpses the brutal life Lee escaped. While an unexpected encounter allows Dan to help an inmate in a surprising way.

As childhood memories resurface and Dan’s obsessive behaviours intensify, an offer to learn more about their father puts strain on his relationship with Lee.

Dan runs the risk of hurting those closest to him when he receives a tip off on his dad’s whereabouts. While a reckless mistake shows he’s more like his father than he thought.

As Dan’s crisis deepens, his actions threaten his entire future - leaving Dan caught between who he was, and who he fears he is destined to be.

Dan escapes to Berlin and catches a rare glimpse of freedom from the noise inside his head. With his future hanging by a thread, Dan returns home determined to change and make amends.
