Ex-con Nickie Dryden has done his time. 18 years in one of the toughest prisons in Britain. Now he's married and has made a new life for himself as an acclaimed sculptor. His old ways are deeply buried, but one man cannot forget. Eighteen years on, Keltie, the policeman responsible for his conviction, cannot accept Dryden's rehabilitation and embarks on a campaign to ensure his violent crimes are not forgotten or forgiven. Billy Connolly is terrifyingly convincing as the seemingly rehabilitated Dryden and Ken Stott is superb as the obsessive policeman determined to see justice done at any price.
