In a rain-soaked Yorkshire valley, a brutal killing shatters the quiet of a small industrial town. Local photographer Danny is drawn into the investigation when his images capture fragments of the crime's aftermath. As tensions escalate, he finds himself entangled with the dead woman's family and the simmering resentments of a community on edge. Outsiders and locals clash, old secrets threaten to surface, and the line between witness and suspect blurs with each passing day. Myers crafts a taut exploration of violence, isolation, and the thin veneer separating ordinary life from chaos.
