Once a year, estranged brothers Michael and Peter make a reluctant pilgrimage to the old fairground yard where their friend Sam went missing when they were boys.

This year, Michael has something to tell Peter that will cast fresh light on the incident, something that will change their lives even more than that fateful day 30 years ago...

Director Lee Cronin made this before his Evil Dead Rise breakthrough—same rotting atmosphere, tighter runtime.

Insight
