Synopsis

Vera Fairfax (Susannah Morley) believes she has achieved everything she could wish for, through social climbing and marriage to a powerful bureaucrat.

That is until her husband Robert (Ian Swann), meets his match in his former protégé Cadogan (Ian Good).

Cadogan's manipulation of the apparatus of this totalitarian state, results in Robert's death and Vera being turned into a non-person.

Abandoned to the whims of Cadogan's unseen manipulation of the state system, Vera has only one possible course of action - to seek a fitting revenge on Cadogan.

It’s 2006. In a small town in North Wales, 16-year-old Morgan stands on the edge of his future, guiding us through haunts, hangouts and nights that linger long after the last bus leaves. The year is 2006, Tony Blair is Prime Minister, Twitter has just been launched, and young people are quickly getting used to a world where social media and technology are beginning to take hold. 16-year-old Morgan, voiced by Callum Scott Howells (It’s a Sin), is searching to understand where he belongs, his journey set against the backdrop of a community in Llanberis – a small town at the foot of Snowdon in Wales. Featuring music by Welsh artists including Super Furry Animals, John Cale and High Contrast.
