Additionally, Marcus doesn't help his cause when he entertains a woman from the village with cocaine and sex, a volatile combination that would have been bad enough on its own if the horror in the forest hadn't happened. Under other circumstances, the killing of the young boy would have been considered a terrible accident, and the shooting of his father might be considered a self defense move, but there's no way any part of this argument would fly in a close knit community down on it's luck from lack of employment and general poverty. The cover up involves burying the bodies in the woods and attempting to appear normal upon heading back to the small village where they are staying. When the boy's father comes upon the scene and reacts to the horror of his dead son, Marcus shoots him from a distance to protect his friend from being killed in retaliation. Setting his gun sight on a deer, the reluctant Vaughn hesitates somewhat and pulls the trigger of his rifle just as the animal moves to reveal a young boy directly in the line of fire. Marcus Trenton (Martin McCann) and Vaughn Carter (Jack Lowden) rekindle their childhood association with a hunting trip in Scotland, and almost right out of the gate find themselves in an impossible situation. I don't know if I could conjure up a more horrible predicament for someone to find themselves in than the two protagonists of this story.
