Synopsis

Synopsis


Christine’s life is changed when she discovers a child’s body by the side of the road, killed in a hit-andrun accident and left for dead. When the news breaks, the whole village is in a state of shock and the longer the search for the killer goes on, the more the facts are obscured. When the tension reaches fever pitch the child’s death becomes an excuse for renewing long buried resentments and settling old scores. But, in a small village where everyone’s lives are interlinked, no one is truly innocent and everyone has blood on their hands.
