Synopsis

Michael Doyle is an anti-hero for our times: a natural predator and a complex mix of high-functioning addict and corrupt police officer, always one step ahead of the law. As an influx of ruthless, power-hungry Albanian gangsters makes its bloody mark on London's criminal landscape, Michael's once assured grip starts to fail and his self-destructive behaviour begins to consume him.

Following Natasha Flynn, a sharp-tongued, coke-fuelled London estate agent, who juggles debts, danger, and deception. Her seemingly glossy life-flashy clothes, posh loft apartment, and endless champagne-hides a spiralling mess of broken dreams, addiction and a business on the brink of collapse. Enter Dan and Will, smooth-talking loan sharks with a sinister edge. Their offer? Easy cash, if she hides a kidnapped fellow estate agent. What follows is a wild, neon-soaked ride through London’s seedy underbelly, as Natasha searches for The Viking, an old ally with violent tendencies. A bloody, chaotic showdown ensues, leaving bodies—and morals—shattered. <br /> Official Selection SXSW Film & TV Festival 2025 - World premiere
