BAFTA-nominated British TV director and Encounters alumnus Michael Pearce‘s well-received feature debut: a suitably creepy Jersey-set psychological thriller with Jessie Buckley (from the Beeb’s recent War & Peace) as Moll –  a troubled young woman who cops off with dangerous outsider Pascal (Johnny Flynn) to flee her ghastly family.

Trouble is, there’s a serial killer on the loose and Pascal is the prime suspect. So how far is Moll prepared to go to ensure that her lover remains beyond the clutches of Mr. Plod? Michael Pearce will be present for a Q&A after the Watershed’s 7:30pm screening on Sat 28 April.
