Directed by Daniel Benmayor, Tracers is a new action-packed thriller set on the mean streets of New York City.
Cam (Taylor Lautner) is a bike messenger in New York who is barely scraping by and trying to pay off his debts. One day Cam crashes his bike into Nikki (Marie Avgeropoulos), a complicated stranger caught up in a gang of street criminals. Nikki soon seduces Cam into the dangerous world of her parkour gang.
Learning parkour takes Cam to places he has never been before and lands him a lucrative job under the gang’s leader, Miller (Adam Rayner).
However, Cam soon discovers that he has become involved in something far more dangerous and complicated than he imagined. Before long, he finds that extricating himself from the situation he finds himself in will be the most difficult challenge he has ever had to face.
Catch the action, thrills and drama when Tracers hits local cinemas on January 29.
