THE JACKET is a gothic thriller, starring Adrien Brody and Keira Knightley that deals with a kalaidoscope of mortal issues as seen through the eyes of a man driven to waking dreams of time travel. But are his dreams real?

Jack Starks is a returning Gulf War vet, hitchhiking in the snows of Vermont, who stops to help a drunken mother and her 8 year old daughter. The mother callously refuses Jack's help, but he and the girl have already made a sympathetic and heartfelt connection.

Months later, Jack is convicted of a murder, judged to be guilty but insane, and jailed in a mental facility where he is subjected to an experimental treatment involving mind-altering drugs. Once medicated, he is wrapped in jacket-like restraints and left alone for hours at a time in a corpse drawer located in the hospital's basement morgue.

Under the mind shattering influence of drugs and sensory deprivation, Jack's mind frees him and he experiences a future in which he must face the fate that awaits him, and change the fate of the child he never forgot.
