SLEEPING DOGS (Clips) (2014)

Short Film (2014)

"Part serious crime thriller, part coming of age drama-comedy, Sleeping Dogs follows a former hard-as-nails crook struggling to settle into his dull domestic life. It all goes wrong when an enemy from his past shows up, sending him into a downward spiral of paranoia and fear, tempting him to return to his old ways. That night, when he confronts the rival, he is forced to accept the way his life has changed, and abandon his dark guilt-ridden past once and for all."
