Poundtown

Details

There are towns in Britain that people come from, but never ever go to. Like the little finger nestled in the country's deepest pocket, they're the smallest and furthest away from the beating heart and bursting brain of the nation. Sleepy, poor places where everyone knows everyone, no one has anything, and nothing ever happens... This is the story of a town like this. A gruesome story of poverty, opportunity and revenge. A rich, rich man returns to his long-abandoned hometown with promises of lasting change and opportunity for everyone. But his offer comes at a price: a moment of horror for a lifetime of wealth. How long before the temptation becomes too great...?
