High John reveals to her that they only way she can break free of the subway is to jump across the train tracks from one platform to the other. To Deena this is an impossible task, but her other choice is to remain in the subway station forever. Director, Writer, Executive Producer: Randall Dottin Executive Producer: Joanes Prosper Magazine Gap Road – 90min High above the commerce and crowds of Hong Kong winds Magazine Gap Road, a secluded enclave of wealth and privilege. Samantha is a curator for a private museum in this rarefied world, a world where her past (a life spent in the Japanese flesh trade) is her most well-kept secret -- until it catches up with her in a single phone call from Kate, another escort, who's in trouble. For Samantha, helping Kate means going back to the world she escaped and risking everything - her budding romance with a wealthy antiques collector, the deadly men who run Hong Kong's high-class prostitution ring, and most importantly, her own fears that beneath the veneer of respectability, she'll always be for sale. |
