Directed in 1993 as a short by Julian Henriques who went onto direct the 1998 series Babymother (though not seen his name on further credits since).
Two gunmen burst into the club firing shots and searching for singer Buckey Ranks. Ranks doesn't know why these men are coming for him, but him and us will learn over the coming 26 minutes, through improvised dialogue and musical performances.
