Synopsis

Death doesn't scare rally driver Alex Bold; dying without ever having taken first place does. When he's diagnosed with cancer, Alex won't settle for a permanent pit stop in chemotherapy. He enters one last big race with fellow patient Lucy as his co-driver: together they'e got nothing to lose. But they weren't expecting a starting line-up that includes a mafia kingpin, a ruthless rival and, in the UK car, a pair of would-be master thieves. Throw in unpredictable symptoms and a bungling manager, and it’s clear the ride of their lives is going to be anything but smooth.

Eryri, North Wales, 1780. Maggie Jenkins has spent her life caring for her dying father in isolation. When he finally dies, she sees a chance to escape the life of duty that has defined her. But then her brother Endaf, long presumed dead, returns through the snow with a wounded Algerian soldier in tow. Welcomed home as a hero, Endaf soon reveals himself to be cold, controlling and dangerous. When the village takes Maggie’s home and inheritance from her and gives them to Endaf, she is pushed to the brink. Set against the brutal winter landscape of 18th-century North Wales, LLUEST is an elemental revenge drama about a woman forced to fight for her freedom — and what happens when she finally refuses to be silenced.
