In Simon Blake's character study, Aiden Gillen stars as a London photographer struggling with the loss of his son. Tom Carver (Gillen) and his ex-wife, Rachel (Amanda Mealing), meet regularly to pay their respects for son Steven, who died in a hit-and-run accident the year before. Just as Rachel has a new man in her life, Carver has been seeing Christina (Elodie Yung), although that doesn't prevent him from hitting on a gallery representative. During an assignment as a school photographer, Carver meets Jimmy (Joseph Duffy), who has just lost his older brother. Their initial encounter is awkward, but they establish a rapport once Jimmy expresses an interest in photography. Carver's friend, Ed (Jonathan Slinger), a reporter, is working on a piece about Jimmy's brother. Both men, who share a weakness for drink, worry about the gangs in the area, one of which may have been involved in the young man's murder. After a tense encounter with gang member Carl (rapper Sonny Green), Carver becomes the object of a campaign of harassment involving prank calls and unwelcome gifts. Instead of contacting the police, who appear to take a lackadaisical attitude to his King's Cross neighborhood, Carver increases his alcohol consumption—until the boys target someone close to him and he realizes that his passive stance may be doing more harm than good. Featuring a memorable performance from Gillen (Game of Thrones), who is at his best when Carver is at his worst, this is recommended. (K. Fennessy)
