A powerful and moving drama, Freefall (2009) follows the lives of three men with everything on the line. Gus is the high flying city exec who packages and sells bundles of mortgages for extortionate profit. Dave is the mortgage broker who can make anything happen, and when Dave offers Jim, his old school friend, a way out of the council flat he and his family have been stuck in for years, it’s an offer that is too good to refuse. A way of fulfilling his lifelong dream of becoming a homeowner.
