Ties of the Ribbon is a complex layered thriller from London-born director and screenwriter Jason Ferguson.

Ties of the Ribbon follows Mr Violet, a professional in his 30s, throughout a midsummer’s day. During what at first appears to be a fairly normal morning, Mr Violet awakes to a flurry of texts from a familiar source but he decides to ignore these throughout the day - could this be a spurned love interest or a worried spouse? Mr Violet feeling guilty, decides to make up for this avoidance and stops by his favourite florist’s run by Mr Fairbrooke, to pick up some flowers for them... roses for that special someone, will they be waiting for him at home? The day comes to a close and Mr Violet rushes back to do some grovelling but we notice something strange about the apartment and more significantly, the bed. There seems to have been a struggle and the bedroom door is ajar. Something stirs from underneath the covers and the door shuts...
