In the Blood

A criminal gang looks forward to a big payday until Albert Graves (Phil Davis), their safe-cracker, suddenly dies. Spotting an opportunity, Albert’s grandson Johnny (Joe Cole) approaches the gang at the funeral but is chased out by his abusive father who accuses Johnny of being nothing but a low-life and drug addict. But the safecracking skills that Johnny has been taught by his grandfather do not escape the gang. Lead by the menacing Jim (Kenny Doughty), that night he’s snatched away to a dark farmhouse to finish the job his grandad began. Toying with his demons he reluctantly starts to open the safe while his captors tussle for control and power amongst themselves. Also starring Peter Bowles and Alison Steadman, “In the Blood” is a story of redemption alongside a bloody and violent tale of those obsessed by power, greed and mistrust.
