A jaded prostitute on her way out of the business, a young runaway trying to get in and the night from hell… welcome to X, a dark, scary thriller set in the mean streets of Kings Cross where life is cheap and even the good guys can be as bad as anyone out there.

X co-writer and director Jon Hewitt, reviewer Alice Tynan and I talk about living and working in The Cross and the tough job of making us care about characters most of us would cross the street to avoid.
