Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Cast: Lewis Bray, Debbie Brannan, Sharon Byatt.

The sacred act of the promise is such that the one put under pressure to preserve their word can act as a conduit to a breakdown, the silence overwhelming, the bond unfairly skewed in the favour of the one whose secret acts like an infection, mutating, twisting, until it becomes unrecognisable. Not all promises are the same, however, the ones that dig into the psyche, the ones that precede a climatic, even devastating event, are the one that we feel are the ones where no one in the end comes out it with their self-assurance, intact.
