Dominic Brunt’s remarkable sophomore film, following his breakout success with BEFORE DAWN, is a gripping tale of female vengeance. This intense crime thriller, inspired by real events, features a razor-sharp script and outstanding acting. It follows two women in a struggling northern town who aspire to open their own café. However, they seek financial help from the wrong source, leading to a chilling metaphor for the harsh economic challenges faced by small businesses in an austerity-driven banking environment. When they can’t meet the exorbitant repayment terms, the resilient pair must summon the courage to exact ruthless, violent revenge on their malevolent lender.
