Synopsis

For decades the criminal underworlds of the North and South UK bumped along begrudgingly. Like the Cold War, territories were respected out of the necessity to avoid apocalypse, with each side covertly keeping tabs on the other’s capability. Such a precarious false harmony could not last forever. Now someone has crossed the line, and there’s no going back. An Illicit love affair smolders, breaking taboo and threatening catastrophe at the smallest mistake. It is a romance of purest, unadulterated love, yet so forbidden that it’s discovery would wreak unbridled carnage. Edinburgh International Film Festival - World premiere
