Down Terrace 2010

Upon their release from prison, Bill and his son Karl return to their home, Down Terrace, located in Brighton. With the assistance of his wife Maggie, Bill sets out to unearth the traitor within their criminal ranks, leading to a gripping tale filled with recrimination, betrayal, and murder.

As tensions rise, Karl becomes increasingly unsettled within his chaotic family dynamics. The situation escalates when his girlfriend Valda makes a surprising appearance, visibly pregnant. In an attempt to introduce her to his family, Karl hosts a dinner that takes a turn for the worse. He announces their plans to marry, only to face staunch disapproval from his parents, who insist that a paternity test is necessary.

Things take a darker turn when Bill’s employee Garvey shares unsettling information about Valda’s past relationship with his brother, igniting Karl’s fury. In a fit of rage, Karl kills Garvey and seeks the help of his uncle Eric to discreetly dispose of the body. The growing anxiety surrounding Garvey’s disappearance leads Bill to worry about a potential threat from a hitman named Pringle. To secure their family’s position, Bill orders Eric to eliminate Pringle, along with his mother, ultimately creating further tragedy that leaves an innocent three-year-old fatherless.

Amidst the rampage, Jony, a gangster from London, approaches Bill, warning him that their reckless actions have imperiled Karl and the rest of the family. In response, Maggie vows to take charge. However, loyalty issues arise when Eric becomes suspicious in Maggie’s eyes, resulting in her poisoning him.

Karl, sensing the weight of betrayal, confronts his parents about Eric’s fate after receiving a death-bed confession from their lawyer, Berman. Amid the emotional turmoil, Valda exploits Karl’s unrest, convincing him to take the ultimate step against his family. The tension reaches its peak when Karl shoots his father dead, while Valda lures his mother to a remote farmhouse, where she plunges a knife into her, sealing their tragic fate.
