Locked In

Only able to see and hear, with communication limited to blinks or finger-taps, Helen aged 101 is at the mercy of a killer. A bed-bound stroke victim, she still has use of her brain and elegantly turns circumstances in her favour.

The judges felt this was a wholly original story beautifully carried through.
