SOMEONE'S TRYING TO GET IN

By Colin Nixon

In the midst of an immigration crisis, BERTRAND (40), a Haitian asylum seeker, enters Canada as a last resort. Waiting at the immigration camp, the lone traveler keeps to himself, although NELI (9) begins to crack his shell. As rumours of mass deportation begin to spread amongst asylum seekers, Bertrand awaits nightfall to escape into the woods. In a nearby isolated country house, JESSY (32) is obsessively surveilling his property through his hunting cameras. Growing paranoid about an usual dot in incoming images, he neglects keeping an eye on his epileptic daughter MADISON (9), angering his wife ALEX (34). Unsettled, Jessy leaves the house for his night shift.Getting in bed, Alex is alarmed by Madison who hears unfamiliar noises from outside.
