SYNOPSIS: In the midst of a quiet, family-run post office, Omar and his father are going about their day when breaking news disrupts their routine. Riots, sparked by the murders in Southport 2024, rising racial tensions have erupted across the UK, making it increasingly dangerous for immigrants and those running migrant-owned businesses.
Panic sets in as Omar realises their safety is no longer guaranteed. Determined to protect his father, Omar tries to rush him to safety, but their plans are interrupted by Luke, a man who approaches them with clear violent intentions. His presence forces both men to confront deeper issues—long-buried grievances and the haunting legacies of their ancestors, whose violent histories still ripple through their lives.
