Blood Synopsis

Nick Murphy's (The Awakening) pyschological thriller about two brothers, Joe (Paul Bettany) and Chrissie Fairburn (Stephen Graham), who collapse under the weight of their father's shadow (Brian Cox).

Desperate to fill their father's shoes, Joe and Chrissie commit the ultimate crime, and the fear of being caught out by their police force colleague, Robert (Mark Strong), turns their lives into a downward spiral of guilt and paranoia.

A Bill Gallagher adaptation of his own successful BBC TV drama series Conviction.
