A nightmare manhunt for maniac prowler!
Film Synopsis
When a young girl accuses a respected elderly man in a small town of inappropriate behavior, her family faces hostility and disbelief from the tight-knit community. As they push for justice, they uncover a disturbing pattern of abuse protected by power and silence. This courageous British drama tackles taboo subjects with stark realism, exposing the dangers of complacency and the cost of speaking out.
