Plot

The Contract follows Nick Dayton[6] (Robert Fucilla) a self-centered, narcissistic, Hedge Fund Trader, who prefers the extremely lavish life-style his job affords. Returning from a business trip, Nick arrives home to his multimillion-dollar mansion, to find it has peculiarly been taken over by squatters. It is here, Nick finds himself fortuitously linked with Erika (Sarah Armstrong.) A damaged young woman. and seemingly the polar opposite of Nick, Erika is a woman suffering from amnesia and mysteriously has Nick's address tattooed on her arm. Attempting to unravel the mystery, both Nick and Erika find themselves enmeshed in the violent underworld of organised crime, led by the unhinged and barbarous Roy Danny Webb. Now acutely aware the seriousness of the situation, Nick soon comes to the rare realisation that not all of his problems can be disentangled with money. If Nick has any chance of solving this bewildering mystery, and save both his and Erika's lives, he is going to have to use his ingenuity and smarts to outwit both the syndicate and the violent and sadistic Roy.[7]
