Balance
Logline: How far would you go to stay in the place you loved? Nik Crosby’s grip on reality is carefully balanced, but someone is out to tip his scales. When the sultry & spoilt Colombian Alex Roccas offers him an unusual solution to his money problems, Nik risks everything, including his sanity to maintain his carefree Costa del Sol existence and stay with the women he loves. Double-crossed and forced to flee to London, how long can Nik survive before the walls of his reality come crashing down? Bad things shouldn’t happen to good people.
Balance is a psychological thriller set in London and Marbella with a strong male protagonist and a powerful female lead.
