Spoilers ahead
Johnny, David Thewlis,finds himself bleeding from embarrassment and anger as a tense moment in a Manchester alley ends with a woman initially inviting him closer but then protesting that he is hurting her. She pushes him away, bolts, and vows that “her Bernard” will get vengeance on him for this. The encounter sets a grim tone for what follows as he packs his things, seizes a car, and escapes to Dalston, a lean, unpretentious corner of east London that feels like a different country compared to his hometown.
