A new twist on the Dickens classic...

Nick Stahl of Terminator 3 and In The Bedroom stars in Twist, a modern re-telling of Charles Dickens' classic Oliver Twist, updated to current times and moved out of the poor house and onto the streets of Toronto. Told from the point of view of The Artful Dodger (Dodge), Twist is no longer a tale of the misfortunes of boys, but rather about the prosaically beautiful Oliver who falls into the hands of down-and-out young men. Dodge takes the young man under his wing and instructs him in the unforgiving arts of drug abuse and prostitution. As Oliver's innocence dissolves, both young men confront their inner demons and, strangely, it is Dodge who finds he cannot escape his past.

Faithful to the tragedy on which it is based, Twist is about the creation of evil and cyclical nature of violence that can keep even the bravest among us tangled in its web.
