London, the present. Soon after leaving prison, Eddie (Sean Harris, 24 Hour Party People, Outlaw, Brothers of the Head) has his eye cut out by a loan shark chasing an old debt. Eddie's other eye will only be spared upon repayment. Desperate for cash, Eddie phones Linda (Sarah Matravers, Footballer's Wives), a wealthy childhood sweetheart. She lives in SAXON - a ghost-town of grim flats run by a corrupt council. Linda’s husband Kevin won a million pounds on a TV quiz show. But Kevin has gone missing, feared dead. Eddie offers his services as an amateur sleuth, and so embarks on a comically gruesome journey through the surreal underworld of SAXON: the place where he grew up, the place where his mother works as a prostitute, the place where he murdered a bailiff.

 

ABOUT THE FILM: ‘SAXON’ is the debut feature from director Greg Loftin. Filmed in and around an abandoned council estate in South London before it was demolished, ‘Saxon’ is a British film like no other that “combines elements of Clint Eastwood’s ‘Unforgiven’, David Lynch and Ken Loach to winning effect” (BBC Online)
