Pawn (2013)

Fresh from the iron-barred confines of prison, Nick Davenport is met by his pregnant wife, Amanda, who's eager to embrace their shared future. Their reunion takes place in the seemingly innocuous setting of the Be Brite diner, where Nick's clandestine meeting with his brother Patrick is set to occur. However, the mundane diner setting is far from what it appears - it's an intricate web of deception and danger, ready to ensnare anyone who stumbles into its grasp. When Will, an observant police officer, enters the diner, he senses the underlying tension thick enough to cut with a knife. A clandestine call to Lieutenant Barnes confirms his suspicions - a heist is happening, but far ahead of the appointed time. Suddenly, the diner transforms into a high-stakes battlefield, where a single wrong move could result in catastrophic consequences. Shot fired. Officer down. Nick, the recently emancipated convict, is thrust into the heart of a deadly hostage crisis run by the icy British criminal Derrick and his ruthless henchmen, Billy and Aaron. As the diner's patrons become pawns in a perilous game, Lieutenant Barnes and negotiator Jeff Porter arrive at the scene, pointing fingers at Nick as the orchestrator of the heist. At the heart of this lethal game is an enigmatic HD - the coveted prize that everyone seems desperate to possess. With the police surrounding the building, a sea of trigger-happy fingers itching for action and a hostage situation spiraling out of control, the truth about the coveted HD and its secrets begin to unravel in shockingly unexpected ways. In the sinister chessboard of this all-night diner, the pawn can transform into the most powerful player. But will Nick manage to navigate through this deadly labyrinth, or will he remain just a pawn in this intricate game of power and deception?
