When Mary and her teenage son, Fergal, move to yet another new home, it soon becomes clear that they live their lives on the run, hiding from someone or something, terrified of being found. Trying to avoid making new friends or connections wherever they go, Fergal finds himself caught between the affections of his beautiful and feisty neighbor and his fiercely protective mother who will stop at nothing to protect her precious son. Mary has strict rules which govern Fergal's life without which chaos and terror threaten to ensue.
Their hunter is Cathal, a dangerous and terrifying man, intent on tracking down and killing Mary and Fergal. What's more, he is using a form of dark magic to find them. Mary's only defense is to use the same ancient form of magic to protect her son. But how long will it be before Cathal manages to outsmart her? When the local residents begin to be brutally murdered by an unknown life force, the sense of fear escalates. Is Cathal the beast responsible for the killings? Or is it the beast that he is trying to destroy?

I thought this was good, pretty gritty and good performances from Nesbitt and Dickie (recently in Game of Thrones). Really liked the somber urban setting mixed with the Gypsy mythos, dark and stark. Only complaint is a standard one of many horrors, poor special effects regarding a creature, less is sometimes more.
sounds kinda boring ....
james nesbitt is awesome
this sounds very much like stephen kings sleepwalkers am i the only one who thinks this
Gotta agree with you on that. Wonder if they have a pet cat...
