Jackdaw
Leave your old baggage at the door.
Directed by Jamie Childs
Produced by Anton, Never Sleep Pictures
A gritty, high-stakes crime thriller driven by familial loyalty and survival, where a desperate veteran's motorcycle odyssey through industrial England becomes a violent reckoning with betrayal and danger.
A former motocross champion and army veteran cares for his younger brother. Broke, he agrees to do an open water pick up of a mysterious illegal package in the North Sea. A resulting double cross and his brother’s disappearance set him and his old bike on a violent nocturnal odyssey through England’s northern rust belt.
