ANIMAL KINGDOM

Where do you fit? Where’s your place and where do you belong? For J. Cody, the task of answering these questions will mean making the hardest decisions of his life. When his mother dies from a drug overdose, he turns to his estranged grandmother for help. He is immediately situated in the middle of a vendetta between his criminal uncles, his manipulative grandma and the police, as an apple of discord that will determine lives. One of the uncles, the unstable Pope, is wanted for armed robbery; his younger brother, the high-strung and unpredictable Craig, is addicted to speed; and the youngest of the family, the naive Darren, tries to follow the criminal ways of his family. On the other side of the rivalry, police office Leckie can tell that J. is different than his relatives and tries to help him escape from their influence. A family thriller that investigates the inevitable collateral consequences – and damages – of crime, with the intensities and the violence climaxing internally and externally in a predefined one-way road, with no signs of an exit.
