The sisters seem shut and their households get pleasure from spending time collectively. We open on a heat, balmy night, barbecue scorching on the patio, the right household setting. The ambiance is chilled, as they lounge in Theresa and Fraser’s completely manicured backyard. Aside from Fraser’s brother Eddie (Ken Nwosu, Sticks and Stones) winding everybody up, there’s hardly a touch of stress, however that is the calm earlier than the storm.
When Theresa’s ten-year-old son, Ben (Fraser Holmes) asks to play within the close by park together with his cousin Eva (Amelie Bea Smith), the adults start to niggle. Fraser is relaxed and is okay for them to go, however this doesn’t assist Theresa’s fears of foreboding and rising emotions of tension.
As anticipated the kids don’t return on time, and Theresa goes in search. Her suspicions are heightened when she finds the kids on the sting of a woodland space and they look like preventing. Instantly her instincts inform her one thing horrible has occurred.
That is all too realised when later that night distraught neighbour, Jean (Jodie McNee, Little Boy Blue), calls on the household. Her ten-year-old son Alex has gone lacking…
