Thirty years ago, one of Ben Knott's schoolfriends was murdered. Another went to prison.

The story ended. The village of Barton Mallett tried to move on.

As the murderer's sentence ends, the village is chosen as the unlikely location for a feature film by a Hollywood producer, with Ben's son Nathan cast in the leading role.

As the film takes shape, Ben begins to recognise the storyline - from his own past. As his son becomes immersed in a tale of bullying and retribution, things turn dangerous, and an uncomfortable truth begins to emerge. Ben must choose between the safety of his children and reopening the wounds of the past.

How much is he willing to risk to protect his family - and himself?
