One of the Good Guys – PREM1ER Edition

If most men say theyre one of the good guys, then why are so many women afraid to walk alone at night?

‘Groundbreaking. Halls take on a very contemporary subject is challenging, revelatory and controversial’ Sunday Times

‘A dark, dazzling shock to the system’ Chris Whitaker, author ofWe Begin at the End

Cole is the perfect husband: a romantic, supportive of his wife, Mels career, keen to be a hands-on dad, not a big drinker. A good guy.

So when Mel leaves him, he’s floored. She was lucky to be with a man like him.

Craving solitude, he accepts a job on the coast and quickly settles into his new life where he meets reclusive artist Lennie.

Lennie has made the same move for similar reasons. She is living in a crumbling cottage on the edge of a nearby cliff. Its an undeniably scary location, but sometimes you have to face your fears to get past them.

As their relationship develops, two young women go missing while on a walk protesting gendered violence, right by where Cole and Lennie live. Finding themselves at the heart of a police investigation and media frenzy, it soon becomes clear that they dont know each other very well at all.

This is what happens when women have had enough.
