The Violators

Synopsis

When Shelly meets Rachel, two dysfunctional girls from radically opposed backgrounds set off on a collision course that will leave one of them shattered, the other re-born.
Set in the forsaken wastelands of Cheshire's little-seen urban overspill, 'The Violators' is a meditation on the meaning of home, and the potency and fragility of young girls' sexuality.

Jack has been married to Maggie for over half his life. He works as a hand raker on the mussel beds in North Wales alongside his younger brother, Dyfan, and Dyfan’s three sons. Jack has always assumed that his own boy, Tom, will join the family business on leaving school, but Tom’s resistance to follow in his footsteps creates familial tension. Tensions are further inflamed by the arrival of an itinerant deckhand, Daniel, who makes known his feelings for Jack. In this remote, rural community where life revolves around Church and fishery, Jack is faced with an impossible dilemma.
