A guy learns of his friend’s death, but the official explanation doesn’t add up – so he sets out in search of the truth, with a side order of revenge.
It’s a well-used hook, but Ken Loach and his regular writer Paul Laverty bring it up to date by linking it to the notorious use of ‘contractors’ (ie mercenary forces) in Iraq.
