The Car Park (Synopsis )


The year is 2020,Glasgow,Scotland.

United Kingdom is in turmoil in the wake of the withdrawal from Europe;known as Brexit.The Westminster government has recruited an army to round up foreign nationals who are supposedly illegal immigrants.In Scotlamd ;denied independence again, is a country on the brink.Guerilla fighters have been attacking government buildings and offices. They even have a gunpost on the main roads into Scotland.Chaos and anarchy reign.

A government fighter called Rabid ,because he fights like an ancient Viking berserker.He is drained and empty of all the fighting,finds himself in an underground carpark beneath a multi storey block. There he comes across Ange, a single mum,ravaged by drugs ,lack of food and sleep. She is tall and thin hair hangs down her back, her eyes are mere dark pools in sockets. Despite all she is vaguely pretty.Rabid starts talking with her, little does she know that he has to arrest her. They grow close, he spots his wife heading for the car park. Ange takes him to her flat.Turns out she is an artist paintings cover almost every wall. Rabid studies them hard ,there is something strange about them.

What is the secret within the paintings? Will Ange share it?

It could mean an end to the mindless conflict and can Rabid accept it and deal with it.
