Mikael Salomon will direct from a script by Tom Doganoglu and Shane Weisfeld. Lee Nelson and David Buelow will produce for Envision Media. 

 

Robert (McDermott), an everyday guy, finds himself tested beyond human endurance when he awakens to find himself locked in an industrial freezer by Russian thugs. They insist he returns the $8 million dollars he stole from them, the only problem is, Robert has no idea what they are talking about.... As he fights for his life before freezing to death, the truth slowly reveals itself.

Recent films include “THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER,” “THE CAMPAIGN,” and “NOBODY WALKS.” McDermott has also returned in a different starring role to the highly acclaimed “American Horror Stories” from Ryan Murphy on FX.
