Concentric
Synopsis/Details:
Having just stolen a briefcase filled with cash, Zoomers Mark and Hedy step into an existential nightmare when they discover there's something else buried inside the loot: a mysterious device which loops time - but can't be turned off.
Trapped in their hotel room, the couple try desperately to figure out what's happening, and who's to blame... But as the clock ticks (in ever shorter bursts which could trap them in limbo forever), the two soon discover their relationship could be the steepest obstacle there is!
An almost single location script, Concentric has the hard SF appeal of Primer, and would be a spectacular showcase for whoever embodies the two main roles!
