A convict’s chance for early prison release comes under threat from his ruthlessly violent cellmate in Cal McMau’s BAFTA-nominated British thriller.

After years in prison, missing out on his son’s childhood, Taylor’s parole is approaching. It’s bad timing, then, when new cellmate Dee starts to draw Taylor into brutal rivalries and dangerous deals, threatening his shot at freedom.

Cal McMau’s feature debut is an intense and claustrophobic portrait of a merciless prison eco-system, featuring standout performances from David Jonsson (winner of BAFTA’s 2025 EE Rising Star award) and Tom Blyth.
