After two young women are killed for rejecting a man’s sexual advances, law enforcement chooses to target public restrooms in a shopping center as a response. Officer “Lucas” (Tom Blyth) becomes part of this operation, essentially acting as bait to catch men engaging in illegal activity. He encourages them to expose themselves before arresting them. During one shift, he meets “Andrew” (Russell Tovey), who doesn’t take the bait and instead intrigues Lucas. As the narrative unfolds, it becomes clear that Lucas has his own hidden life, and his feelings for Andrew could conflict with his job duties. Similarly, "Andrew" is concealing aspects of himself—he's a man guarding secrets, so any potential relationship seems unlikely. I felt Blyth managed to carry the story effectively as he balanced his work, family, and personal life, particularly when that private side started to become quite intense. The ending feels somewhat chaotic, but it does eventually resolve the plotlines, and director Carmen Emmi highlights what appears to be an excessive deployment of police resources based on a rather absurd starting point. Tovey’s character perhaps lacks some depth and occasionally seems harsh, however, the film offers a thoughtful commentary on homophobia, fear, and forbidden romance—and it's definitely worth seeing.
