Synopsis

This debut feature from Writer/Director Will Jewell (Man In Fear, South Coast) is a visceral snapshot of contemporary Britain – tense, divided and balanced on a knife-edge. Topics such as immigration, class tensions, prejudice and tax evasion are woven into a taut thriller that grips and twists towards a devastating climax.
High in the remote Welsh mountains, five builders are brought together to renovate a sprawling old farmhouse. Housed in mouldy portacabins, tensions soon simmer between the men and the self-entitled aristocratic homeowner, as well as amongst the rag tag group of men themselves. World-weary old timer Dave and kindly Foreman Bob try to keep the peace. But his feckless nephew Steve falls under the malign influence of bigot Jim, the pair taking a dislike to Viktor, a Ukranian labourer. As the weather closes in and payments are late, tempers fray. Blood is spilled. As the blue-collar men are confronted with an increasingly dark spiral of moral choices, Jim makes an astonishing proposition...
