Ray is an aging ex-socialist who has become a bankrobber after seeing the demise of socialism in 1980s Britain. Teaming up with a gang of other has-beenish crims, he commits one bank job too many. The gang dissolves in a murderous flurry of recriminations.

VIBE

A grim, character-driven crime drama. It feels like a cold, hard look at the end of the line for a group of men whose best days are long behind them. Betrayal simmers beneath the surface, leading to a brutal, inevitable unraveling.
