Synopsis: When Adam goes to visit his friends Ed and Kath after a recent break-up, he is hoping for some consolation. What he hasn’t realised is that he has turned up during Pobl Bachyn, a long-standing tradition in the town of Twll. If a guest is found in the house when midnight strikes, the folkloric hookmen will arrive and all hell will break loose. But it’s just a fun tradition, isn’t it? As midnight draws near and Adam is too hungover to leave, Ed and Kath need to choose between friendship and superstition. Perhaps, after all, it’s safer to believe than not…
