UK PREMIERE - The title translates as Slider… you’ll see why! Lucas returns to his home village, lost in the mountains, to bury his parents, who have tragically died in a mysterious fire. Traumatised by his abusive father as a child, he also witnessed the death of his best friend when he was eight years old. But he has never told anyone the truth about what happened. However, the still-grieving father of his friend has never been able to get over his loss. Someone is responsible, and he needs revenge, and Lucas happens to be in the vicinity.
