Synopsis:

Set in the seamy, sweaty Thailand underworld, "The Tesseract" (based on the novel by Alex Garland) sets up 4 unique characters and reveals what happens when their lives are drawn together and collide in the most tragic and violent of ways. There's Sean (Jonathan Rhys-Meyers), an aimless drifter who has somehow become involved with a gang and their drug heist. There's the nameless assassin who works for an opposing gang, and who was badly wounded in her last attempt to reclaim the goods. There's a British psychologist (Saskia Reeves) who is interviewing local children about their dreams, and who is also coming to terms with the death of her young son. And finally, there's Wit (Alexander Rendel), a young urchin with a penchant for breaking into hotel rooms and stealing any valuables he finds. One way or another, all of these characters have ended up at the Heaven Hotel, a dilapidated old building where guests just sit and simmer in their rooms, trying to stay cool in the oppressive Bangkok heat.
