world Premiere

Director Susan Jacobson. Starring Kierston Wareing, Vincent Regan, David Bradley, Georgia Groome, Terry Stone, UK 2011, 90 mins.

A heart-pounding suspense thriller set in the rugged and atmospheric landscape of the English countryside. Cassie Naylor’s husband Dean has mysteriously disappeared and now she’s desperately trying to run their isolated farm alone with her two girls. Financial ruin looks imminent and the only way out seems to be selling up to predatory local farmer Rabe who wants to claim more than land from Cassie. Then an enigmatic stranger arrives at the smallholding, claiming to be an old friend of her husband. Aden knows all about the family, surprising personal details, and soon charms his way into their lives. But unknown to Cassie, Aden’s altruism has a sinister edge – and her daughter Gemma becomes increasingly suspicious of him. When the truth about Dean’s vanishing finally comes to light, and Aden’s deluded intentions become apparent, Cassie and her girls must fight for their survival like never before.
