    • Synopsis
    • Between 9 and 5 the people in the town of Forres don’t work, they dissolve into the pubs, where they enjoy the company of a good pint and gossip with their neighbors about their own troubled pasts. On one crisp day a stranger arrives, Bodkin Ras has come to the remote town to lie low and hide from a crime gone awry. Just as the town starts to welcome him as their own and despite Bodkin Ras’ attempts to change, his destructive nature leaks in and he repeats the violent mistakes of his past.
