“No Reprieve”
Synopsis: “No Reprieve” begins after a young, social media addicted Armenian mother, on holiday in London, goes to the airport with her son to pick up her husband. Aware of this, a crime syndicate take note of her arrival and are waiting to use her for their own gain, taking her from one place to another and forcing her to perform acts against her will.
Behnaz Aslanyan is a woman that frequently adds recent photos of herself to her public profiles and often discloses her location, keeping everyone aware. Although the story itself doesn’t delve into privacy settings, it does highlight the dangers of the internet and rampant status updates.
On the other side of the story is Seamus Duncan and his “colleagues,” a group of nihilistic and manipulative characters that favour money over humanity and devoid of empathy. Sex trafficking by its very terminology is repugnant, but this doesn’t concern them in any manner. It’s just a means to an end the way that they exploit these women.
The johns that visit these establishments don’t fully understand the role they play, ignoring the evil surrounding them as long as their needs are met. The women are beautiful, the cost is reasonable and everything appears relatively clean and safe.
