Normal
Small town. Big secret.
Directed by Ben Wheatley
Produced by Aperture Media Partners, QWGmire
A tense small-town thriller where a flawed lawman stumbles into a web of corruption and conspiracy that runs deeper than a simple bank heist.
An unassuming substitute sheriff with a troubled past responds to a bank robbery in a small, sleepy town and unknowingly uncovers something far more explosive.
