Synopsis by Augustine Chay

Orlando Bloom, Janet Montgomery, Charlie Creed-Miles, and Anne Reid star in co-directors Ludwig Shammasian and Paul Shammasian’s drama. A demolition worker (Bloom) is plagued by traumatic childhood memories and the desire for revenge after he encounters the priest who sexually abused him two decades earlier. He struggles to come to terms with that formative episode and how it has negatively affected his relationships with his mother, God, and his girlfriend.
