Frog Leap Productions
Under the limpid skies of a Parisian summer morning, the funeral takes place, closed casket and under locks. Shortly afterwards, Billy's three sisters begin to suffer from recurring nightmares.
The nightmares are eerily identical. In their dreams, the coffin stands empty and a ticking clock sits where their brother's head should have been. Convinced that their brother is still alive, desperately calling out to them in their sleep, they put their lives on hold and go looking for answers in the Land of Smiles, in faraway Thailand.
Frog Leap Productions was Billy's last chance at a normal life. However, in a Bangkok bar, a fortuitous encounter with a charismatic stranger and an enigmatic Eurasian beauty invite him to redeem the past and start over.
Will Billy accept the unfathomable proposal designed to offer him a future, or will they turn into another deadly pawn? When his sisters come looking for him, will they be drawn into an inextricable web of intrigue where the disappearance of foreign nationals lies at the heart of an international smuggling ring of the new party drug, Infinity, or will they decide to bury the truth and let bygones be bygones?
