Newport Beach Film Festival 2009

Former Yugoslavia 1997. Seventeen year old Viko shares a squalid, cramped apartment with his family, all struggling for survival. His only joy is his girlfriend Lila and their dream of escaping to London. When his older brother, Ivan, offers him some black market work, that dream suddenly seems within reach. Enlisted as a driver, Viko hopes to make his money and go. When he is forced to stand in for a ‘disappeared’ member of the gang, he finds himself pulled into a web of sex-trafficking. Overnight, he is brought into the belly of an organization he might never escape, and into a role from which he may never recover.
