Two brothers knock down an old man in a deserted Edinburgh street, their decision to cover up the accident, leads to events spiralling out of control as a suspicious relative, a seemingly inquisitive neighbour and a private detective all get pulled into the mess. No one is who they seem, except the peerless Bill Paterson, who arrives in episode 3, as an intimidating criminal boss.
The script, by Neil Forsyth, is dark, ironic and funny often in the same sentence. The cinematography, for a tv series, is outstanding. The cast led by Mark Bonnar, as the manipulative lawyer brother, and Jamie Sives, as his trusting, idealistic brother, is perfect.
Highly recommended.
