Synopsis: Christmas, 1995. As Scotland reels from a devastating loss of industry, a man is trapped in an escalating nightmare.
Forced to follow a series of bizarre and deadly instructions contained in red envelopes, he is soon stranded in the snowy wastes of the Scottish Highlands – his fate bound to a stranger he finds caught in the same brutal game.
About the Filmmaker: Owen made his directing debut in 2014 with the feature documentary ‘Still the Enemy Within’ about the 1984/85 Miners Strike.
Critically acclaimed, with the Guardian calling it ‘as gripping as a thriller’ – the film went on to win a prestigious Sheffield International Documentary Award and Focal Award, be Grierson nominated, screened at BAFTA, and inducted by the BFI as a film of historic importance. Since then, Owen has directed a number of prime-time television series, working with numerous broadcasters including BBC ONE, CHANNEL 4 and NETFLIX.
