British filmmaker Nick Rowland delivers a powerful exploration of failed fatherhood in his BAFTA-nominated debut crime-drama. With an intelligent screenplay penned by the UK’s Joe Murtagh, and an outstanding central performance from British actor Cosmo Jarvis as the film’s troubled anti-hero, the film is as haunting as it is captivating. Co-produced by Film4 and Northern Ireland-based DMC Film.
