Nothing to Lose

Convicted for the brutal murder of his father, Johan (Theo Maassen) has been sentenced to a mental institution, where he spends his days insisting the crime was one of self-defense — an attempt to save his sister's life. Determined to prove his innocence, Johan escapes and goes in search of his mother, whose testimony he feels is the only thing that will clear his name. With the police quickly closing in, Johan kidnaps a 13-year-old girl (Lisa Smit) and as both hostage and shield, she never truly knows if each breath will be her last... Nothing to Lose is a pulse-pounding thriller, also known in the Netherlands by its Dutch title, TBS, which is a harsh prison sentence given to the most hardened criminals for the most monstrous crimes. TBS is forced rehabilitation, ending only when the patient is judged cured of insanity.
