action

Brothers Joe and Chrissie Fairburn are second generation police officers. Her dominant father, Lenny Fairburn, was the police chief of her current agency and is now retired. After the body of a young girl who was apparently brutally murdered is found in an English skate park, Joe and Chrissie join their department head Robert Seymour to arrest the perpetrator. The trail leads them to Jason Buleigh, a convicted sex offender and outsider. But the police are forced to release the suspect for lack of evidence. When their father, who suffers from progressive dementia , shows up at the station and reproaches them, both feel like failures.

Joe gets drunk at Miriam and Joe Fairburn's twentieth wedding anniversary celebration. After brutally mistreating his daughter's boyfriend in the toilet, the two leave the party, as does his wife. Joe kidnaps Jason Buleigh after his father reminds him again and again that things like murder used to be "solved" differently, also with intimidation, threats and violence.

After driving through the mudflats to an island, Jason is forced to dig his own grave in order to force him to confess. While trying to get Jason to talk, the drunk Joe loses control of himself and kills him with the shovel. The father, who is also drunk, lies half-awake in the back of her car during this scene, apparently without noticing anything that happened in the mudflats. Both brothers bury the body and try to keep the matter quiet. A short time later, they learn that Jason was innocent. The real perpetrator can be arrested. Your boss Robert Seymour soon suspects that something is wrong. Joe's daughter also noticed that he burned his clothes on the night of the crime, for which Joe, of course, cannot provide a reasonable explanation. The more sensitive Chrissie Fairburn doesn't manage to live with guilt in the long run. First he confesses to his family. His wife panics and tries to put the sole blame on Joe. Later, the father also remembers Joe's murder in the Watt, which he witnessed subconsciously, and testifies in front of the police that he murdered Jason. In the interrogation room, Joe speaks to his father and tells him that he will not allow the father to take on the crime that he (Joe) has committed. The conversation is broadcast in the open plan office of the police authority. When his colleagues want to arrest him, Seymour exceptionally allows him to drive to the beach again under supervision. Here Joe quotes his father again, who told the boys to button their jackets because otherwise the wind will blow them out to sea - a quote that also started the film.

Reviews
