The Marker

This dark urban thriller, by writer-director Justin Edgar, follows a tormented criminal (Frederick Schmidt) who, after a stint in prison, sets out to try and find the daughter of the woman he killed. He is haunted by his guilt in the guise of the ghost of his victim (the ever- impressive Ana Ularu). His bloody mission brings him up against his former gang boss (played with relish by John Hannah) as he faces former demons as well as a brutal criminal conspiracy.
