Detective Sergeant Bruce Robertson, a corrupt and drug-addled police officer, navigates the murky depths of Edinburgh's criminal underworld while battling his own inner demons. Obsessed with securing a promotion and winning back his estranged wife, Robertson employs manipulative tactics and indulges in increasingly bizarre hallucinations, all while investigating a brutal murder. His descent into madness is fueled by addiction, borderline personality disorder, and a profound sense of isolation, leading to a shocking and unforgettable climax.

How to stream with ExpressVPN

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is an app that encrypts your internet connection and masks your IP address, allowing you to stream securely and bypass restrictions.

Why Use a VPN for Streaming?

- Increase Privacy: A VPN protects your data on non-secure public Wi-Fi networks by creating an encrypted tunnel, safeguarding your personal information while you stream.
