Synopsis:
Dice tells the story of charismatic psychology teacher, Glenn Taylor (Aidan Gillen – The Vice, Queer as Folk), who manipulates people by teaching them how to live by the throw of a dice. When the small community is shattered by the death of student Sally Quine, Detective Patrick Styvesant (Martin Cummins – Dark Angel, Poltergeist: The Legacy) finds himself drawn deeper into a bizarre world where decisions are ruled by the dice. As Taylor's influence over the community deepens, Patrick also has his own demons to contend with as he battles alcoholism and his repressed homosexuality, all of which make him a perfect target for Taylor. Also starring Notting Hill’s Gina McKee and Fred Ward (Sweet Home Alabama, Tremors).
Dice will be released on DVD in the UK in 2007 from Digital Classics DVD.
