Miles Away

Synopsis

In 1987 as BSE spreads across Britain and a mystical 'harmonic convergence' is foretold two gangsters Gill and Rokit roam the country seeking a place to lay low with their loot until things cool down.

What transpires takes them on a surreal journey to their ultimate destinies.

Maybe if David Lynch had remade The Wicker Man it would have looked something like this.
