Locked Down Synopsis

Locked Down

Once an adventurous, madly in-love couple, Linda and Paxton have found themselves in a rut. Recently broken up after more than a decade together, they’re now forced to battle the stressors of living under the same roof just as London’s COVID-19 lockdown takes effect. Blaringly successful marketing executive Linda sees her career flourish even during the lockdown, but with yet another promotion comes stomach-curdling demands that open her eyes to the soullessness of the corporate world. Meanwhile, Paxton has issues and regrets of his own. A creative spirit with a criminal record from a mistake made in his youth, Paxton’s professional opportunities have been few and far between. With the city shut down, his messenger job has come to a halt, leaving him with no other prospects – until his boss gives him the less-than-legal opportunity to shuttle luxury goods, including a £3-million diamond, from the most glamorous department store in the world, Harrods. Promised a promotion if things go off without a hitch, Paxton’s news sparks an unthinkable idea in Linda. As they consider orchestrating a high-risk heist, the sparring couple calls a truce for a shot at a life-changing sum of money – and the chance to feel alive again. Will Linda and Paxton be able to pull it off? And if they do, will they go their separate ways, or will the thrill of taking new risks lead them back together?page3image2625936848
