A neurological pandemic has consumed the population. Drug-resistance has mutated the airborne virus into a ravaging psychological plague, rendering the dying infected scared, paranoid and violent. In the stark aftermath two survivors come together at the isolated Braehead farm in desperate circumstances: April, a young mysterious girl with a dark secret past has survived alone for months; Daniel, a man desperate and bereaved, clings onto some hope in the outside world. When enigmatic stranger Kate turns up, they are confronted with a new enemy even deadlier than the one beyond their barbed wire secure perimeter. As Daniel clings to his own sanity, he finds the true enemy lies much closer to home. Directed by broadcast promo genius Kerry Anne Mullaney in spare style with a dark aesthetic edge and undercurrent of seething menace, this Scottish shocker is a jolting mood piece confirming her rising star North of the Border.
