Stalking for deer in the remote Scottish wilderness, three brothers plot to put an end to their violent and abusive father, the man responsible for the recent death of their mother. Burying Don in a shallow grave they make their way back home to their farmhouse. But what should be a new beginning could bring about their end…

Returning to the scene of the crime to retrieve the key to the family safe, and their inheritance, they begin the gruesome task of digging up their dad, only to find his body gone. Is Don really dead? Does their affable cousin know more than he’s letting on? Or is one of the brothers betraying them all?

Already weighed down by guilt and now stricken with fear, the boys begin to show their true natures as day turns to night, and their hope for freedom turns into a desperate struggle to survive. For someone is now out there in the forest, hunting them…

Exploring the history of violence, the power of family and the dangers of revenge, this non-stop Scottish thriller stars Daniel Portman (Game of Thrones), Paul Higgins (The Thick of It, Line of Duty), Brian Vernel (Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Dunkirk), Calum Ross (Wednesday), and James Harkness (Darkest Hour, Rogue One).

Kill is both a calling card for its cast and crew and a fun exercise in plotting.

Taught and original thriller.
