Set in modern-day London, the film is a crime thriller that Netflix says channels “classic Hitchcockian suspense” while telling a story dealing with contemporary themes such as Establishment privilege and corruption.
An official synopsis reads: “A pair of rebellious, young graffiti writers, Toby (Mackay) and Jay (Ascott) regularly target the homes of the UK’s wealthy elite and ruling class. When Toby breaks into the home of renowned former High Court Judge Sir Hector Blake (Bonneville) he discovers a shocking secret that leads him on a journey endangering himself and those closest to him.”
