Melissa McCabe (aka Missy Allardyce)

Unique traits: INFP, type 6, Cancer. Will stop traffic to collect a stray dog. Avoids parties but let’s have lunch! Expect deep conversation - I’m allergic to small talk. Stopped colouring my hair. Often asked whether I qualify for the seniors discount yet recently mistaken for a 45 year old. My grey hair and I land somewhere in between. Repeatedly mistaken for a lawyer or someone with more authority than I have. Sometimes I roll with it…

  Film by Michael Hurst music department Small time gang... Big time problems. One morning, the cops find eight dead bodies, gunshot victims, near a farmhouse. They also find a wounded man who tells the story of what happened. He is Alan White (Sir John Hurt), the father of a young woman awaiting a heart transplant. The night before, his wounded son Danny (Nick Moran) has come to him with a tale of a kidnapping gone wrong. Danny, whom Alan hasn't seen for eight years, offers a deal. If Alan will pose as a kidnapping victim, which will lead to his death, Danny will donate his heart for his sister's transplant. If Alan refuses, then Danny and his friends, the "new blood" hired to help with the kidnapping, will die. What will Alan do, and what's really going on here?
