After a failed theft at a dog fighting ring, con artist couple Nina (Shian Denovan) and Yaz (Nansi Nsue) must escape a dangerous criminal pursuing them. The pair end up at the house of Beryl (Annabelle Lanyon), a seemingly kind old woman who has £3000 in cash stashed away. Circumstances turn out worse than the couple expects, as the pair must fight for their lives against Beryl’s family of hungry cannibals.
Centring his feature debut around con artists, co-writer/director James Owen depicts a couple with differing opinions of their future. Nina is hopeful that they can lead a normal life with a more traditional line of work, while Yaz believes such a life is unattainable and escapes her bleak reality through addiction.
