A Fox in the Night

Synopsis

A south London story in which opposites attract, appearances deceive and bravery reaps rewards.
Excited for a night out on the town, flamboyant and confident Lewis is suddenly cautious and uncomfortable when a friend asks him to pick up a little something from his dealer, Daniel. On arrival, Lewis is confronted with an unexpected invitation, and an unexpected connection. With an Uber on the way and daily life creeping back in, Lewis walks away with a different perception of the world around him, leaving Daniel with an invitation of his own.

Year:

Lil, a young mother, struggles to connect with her newborn baby. Ashamed and exhausted, she tells no one not even her domineering mother, Judith. But something terrifying already senses the void between them. Drawn to mothers who are uncertain or overwhelmed, an ancient creature begins to circle, waiting for an opportunity to rid her of her burden. When the family relocates to Judith’s childhood home, isolated deep in the countryside, buried tensions erupt and old secrets surface. The creature closes in, and a primal battle begins between a now-desperate mother and a relentless, all-consuming force.
