Bait (2015)

In the heart of the city lies a humble cake stall, a beacon of comfort and sweetness, run by best friends Bex and Dawn. They share a dream of transforming their modest enterprise into a bustling café, a dream that seems tantalizingly achievable when an unexpected offer lands in their laps. Dawn's boyfriend, Jeremy, a seemingly generous businessman, offers them a £10,000 loan, a golden ticket to their dreams. However, beneath Jeremy's friendly exterior lurks the cold, merciless heart of a ruthless loan shark, preying on the vulnerable and the hopeful like Bex and Dawn. Unbeknownst to them, they've unwittingly stepped into a dangerous labyrinth of debt and intimidation. Joy quickly curdles into a gut-wrenching fear as Jeremy reveals his true colours, demanding repayment with an exorbitant interest rate. Caught in the vice-like grip of this financial predator, their once sweet dream curdles into a living nightmare. As Jeremy's demands grow increasingly menacing, their lives spiral into a world tainted by fear and violence. Bex and Dawn are left grappling with the crushing reality of their situation, trapped on a knife-edge between their ambitions and a grim survival. As the stakes mount and threats escalate, they must muster the courage to navigate their way out of this harrowing ordeal. Will they succeed, or will their dreams crumble under the weight of their terrifying predicament?
