Plot: Tired and irritable, Zakes Abbott drives home along the motorway, his girlfriend, Beth, asleep beside him. Failing to spot his exit he speeds across the causeway, cutting up a white van and barely avoiding an accident. Apoplectic with rage, the truck driver gives chase, and as he violently overtakes the tailgate flips up revealing a woman bound and bloodied in the back. But before there is time for a second look, the door is slammed shut and Zakes is left bewildered and wondering if what he saw was real. Later at a service station, Zakes' fears grow when Beth goes missing, and as he begins a frantic search, he is enticed into a deadly game of cat and mouse on the deserted motorway. But being the sole witness to the earlier scene, how does he convince others of his desperate need for help? Playing on our most primal fears, this taut suspense thriller challenges a world where we constantly turn responsibility over to someone else and asks the question: what do you do when there is no one else there?

Quotes:

General Faversham: An officer who gave his life for his country deserves far more respect than I do.

General Faversham: There is only one sacrifice nobler than sacrificing one's self for their country; that is marrying a man who does.

[Upon learning his son has resigned from the army]::General Faversham: I don't know you.

Willoughby: [speaking of Harry leaving the regiment] We've been sent to war and the very next day he resigns. There's no doubt about it.::Jack Durrance: What's that supposed to mean?::Willoughby: I think it's perfectly clear what it means.::Castleton: Tom, don't be absurd!::William Trench: Shut up, Vicar.::Willoughby: It means he's a coward, Jack.::Jack Durrance: Say that to his face.::Willoughby: I would have done only he left the barracks before I had a chance.::Jack Durrance: Alright then, say it to my face.::William Trench: Easy, Jack.::Willoughby: Harry is a disgrace. He disgraced the regement.::Jack Durrance: He is the best soldier in the regement!::Willoughby: Obviously not when it counts. I will tell him. But not to his face. He doesn't deserve it. He deserves to be treated with the same contempt he treated us.::Jack Durrance: What contempt?::Willoughby: Did he talk to you about it? Did he talk to any of you? He's left with his back exposed and he didn't even have the courage to tell us. He was my friend too, Jack.::Jack Durrance: He'll be there.

Harry Faversham: Willoughby, you look wonderful, darling.::Jack Durrance: Princess Willoughby.::Harry Faversham: Miss Willoughby.::William Trench: A hair is out of place there, Tom.::Willoughby: When are you gentlemen going to grow up?::Harry Faversham: Gentlemen! Did he call us gentlemen?::Jack Durrance: I believe he did.::Harry Faversham: I won't take that from him.::Jack Durrance: Nor will I.

William Trench: Don't worry, Vicar. They're only women. They won't bite.

Harry Faversham: I've left the army. [Ethne laughs in disbelief] No, Ethne, I have left the army.::Ethne: Why?::Harry Faversham: There was talk they might send us abroad. For a year or two. I didn't want to wait that long to get married.::Ethne: I would have waited. Or come with you. My mother did the same for my father.::Harry Faversham: Yes, I know, but it tisn't what I wnated for us. You're all that matters to me now.::Ethne: Where were they going to send you?::Harry Faversham: They weren't sure. [the church door opens and a delivery boy from the army gives Harry a package that contains three white feathers]::Ethne: [Picking up the feathers from the floor] Is this your friends' idea of a joke? What is it, Harry?::Harry Faversham: Feathers of cowardice. Yesterday we were informed that our regement would be shipping out to Sudan. That we would be sent to war.::Ethne: You don't know where they were sending you, you said it yourself. You did it for me. No one in their right mind could call you a coward. Especially not your friends. If there's been some kind of misunderstanding you have to clear it out. You have to go back to the regement and clear it out.::Harry Faversham: No, I can't.::Ethne: Then I will. I'll go see Trench, Willoughby and Castleton myself and tell them it's my fault you resigned. You did it for me.::Harry Faversham: It has nothing to do with you, Ethne!::Ethne: Then why?::Harry Faversham: I never wanted to join the army! I did it for my father. I thought I'd serve my commission for a year or two and keep everyone happy and then I could...::Ethne: Do what? Wait until we were married to tell me the truth?::Harry Faversham: Ethne, I never meant to lie to you.::Ethne: No, but you were quite happy to let me deceive myself. Do you think people will let us forget this?::Harry Faversham: I don't care what people think, Ethne. All I care about is us.::Ethne: It's not about us, Harry. It's just not about us. Jack would give his life for you.::Harry Faversham: Don't you think I know that?::Ethne: Then go back. It's not too late. Tell them you wouldn't have resigned if it weren't for me.::Ethne: I would have resigned. And I wouldn't have gone to war for anything or anyone.::Ethne: Then you are a coward.

Harry Faversham: When something like this happens you are lost. You don't know who you are anymore and what you're capable of. Unless I do something this is always how people will remember me. A feather. And that is how I will always see myself: a coward. All I know is that I can't live with myself like this.

Abou Fatma: I found you half dead crossing the desert alone and you say you are afraid?

Jack Durrance: You may be lost, but you are not forgotten. For those who have travelled far, to fight in foreign lands, know that the soldier's greatest comfort is to have his friends close at hand. In the heat of battle it ceases to be an idea for which we fight. Or a flag. Rather we fight for the man on our left, and we fight for the man on our right. And when armies are scattered and the empires fall away, all that remains is the memory of those precious moments that we spent sided by side.
