Borrowed Time tells the story of the unlikely friendship between a hapless young burglar, Kevin (Theo Barklem-Biggs - The Inbetweeners Movie, BBC's Silk series 2) and his eccentric victim, pensioner Philip (Phil Davis - Quadrophenia, Vera Drake, Brighton Rock). Desperate for cash and short on options to pay back local tyrant 'Ninja' Nigel, Kevin breaks into Philip's house, only to be held hostage by the old man at gunpoint.

What follows is a bittersweet comedy about growing up and rediscovering youth in parallel, as the burglar and victim form a bond that will help them both find a way out of their respective troubles.
