In Dead Before You Wake, Alex (Shepka) is a nightclub bouncer who is asked to track down and save a young girl who was snatched for trafficking.

Alex dwells in a caravan by day and mans the door of a city club by night. One evening he is approached by the mysterious Evan, a retired lawyer who offers him £20,000 on behalf of a government official to track down a missing girl named Bianca. Alex’s search takes him into the underbelly of Glasgow where he comes across the suspicious Amar and Ghadir who appear to be running a shady criminal operation far beyond the confines of their commercial property. Will Alex manage to find the girl and get her back safely, leading to his own ultimate retribution? Can he take down a ruthless trafficking ring or has he endangered the lives of himself and those around him beyond positive outcome?

The rest of the cast also includes Grace Cordell, Manjot Sumal, Kareem Nasif, Sylvester McCoy (Former Doctor Who!)and Patrick Bergin. Dead Before They Wake will be released in the UK and Ireland via High Fliers Films on 27th January 2025. In the U.S Deskpop Entertainment will release on 7th January.
