A man is sitting on the toilet in a public restroom when he’s interrupted by a child crawling into his stall. He begins to panic when the kid won't leave no matter how emphatically he asks. What follows is a descent into madness as he tries to devise a plan to escape, without being branded a sexual predator.

• Feedback Concerns: I've been working on this film for a year and a half now. It's done well in script competitions and film labs, and has come close a couple of times to getting off the ground. Any feedback you guys have would be helpful. I'm planning to direct this too as you will see in the pitch deck.
