What to Expect

PremiereLens read

The Law of Beasts treats a resurfaced child serial killer case as more than a question of solving a crime. Twenty-five years have left legal and social questions unresolved, giving the drama a sombre weight. Guilt and responsibility shape a story concerned with what remains after a case has failed to reach a settled conclusion.

Two former friends must face choices that ended their friendship and shaped their lives. Their shared past gives the case a personal cost, with old loyalties set against the consequences of what each did. The relationship brings a second kind of reckoning: confronting the crime also means confronting the damage between them.
