What happens in Red Road from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 12 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 4-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
In a Glasgow setting dominated by surveillance and uneasy quiet, Jackie Morrison works the night shift as a CCTV operator, watching the Red Road Flats and the lives that unfold within and around them. She lives alone and keeps a careful distance from romance, even as she engages in casual encounters with a married man named Avery. The film charts a careful, creeping tension as Jackie’s routine gaze on the city gradually turns inward, centered on one man who catches her attention.
