"Aaron heads back up the mountains, unknowingly coming into contact with the so-called Justice Crusade, a group of far-right extremists led by "unstable former soldier Fairweather", played by What It Feels Like For A Girl star, Michael Socha. Justice Crusade are "united by their beliefs and their mutual need for belonging" but Fairweather's jaw-dropping plans for the mountains lead to fractures in the outcast group, "making them even more volatile and dangerous"."
""As these disparate stories converge on this remote landscape a unique thriller emerges, exploring themes of loss, radicalisation and survival," reads an official synopsis. "A wilderness thriller wrapped around an emotional core, Deadpoint is a literal cliffhanger, grounded in the tensions existing in our society today, exploring who we are, who we pretend to be, and what we do when the rope snaps.""
Callum Scott Howells stars as Aaron, a grieving, guilt-ridden climber who leaves Wales after an accident kills a close friend. After a year abroad he returns but develops a pathological fear of climbing and is forced back into the mountains when his sister Seren fails to return from a routine climb. Aaron's search brings him into contact with the Justice Crusade, a far-right extremist group led by unstable former soldier Fairweather (Michael Socha). Detective Natasha Evermore (Christine Tremarco) leads a parallel hunt, fearing the group plans an explosive act. The five-part action-thriller examines loss, radicalisation, belonging and survival in Snowdonia.
