To the outside world looking in, Jack’s not well. Brooding, disheveled, troubled, he’s been in and out of secure units all of his young life, had every drug they can think of, every treatment they can throw at him but nothing seems to work. Not because he doesn’t want it to, there’s nothing he’d like more than to live a normal life and be left alone. But as far as Jack is concerned there’s nothing wrong with him, it’s them - the dead - they’re the ones who won’t leave him alone. <br /> Edinburgh International Film Festival 2015 - World premiere

David Blair directs this powerful British Drama, loosely inspired by John Steinbeck's novel 'Of Mice and Men'. Set in Nottingham, the film revolves around the relationship between the thuggish Danny and Joseph, a giant of a man with a mental age of seven. When Danny finds himself in debt to a local crime boss, he feels he is left with no choice but to manipulate Joseph into participating in a series of underground cage fights from which Danny can pay his debts.
