Callum Scott Howells stars as Aaron, a grieving, guilt-ridden climber who leaves Wales after an accident kills a close friend. After a year abroad he returns but develops a pathological fear of climbing and is forced back into the mountains when his sister Seren fails to return from a routine climb. Aaron's search brings him into contact with the Justice Crusade, a far-right extremist group led by unstable former soldier Fairweather (Michael Socha). Detective Natasha Evermore (Christine Tremarco) leads a parallel hunt, fearing the group plans an explosive act. The five-part action-thriller examines loss, radicalisation, belonging and survival in Snowdonia.
"Aaron heads back up the mountains, unknowingly coming into contact with the so-called Justice Crusade, a group of far-right extremists led by "unstable former soldier Fairweather", played by What It Feels Like For A Girl star, Michael Socha. Justice Crusade are "united by their beliefs and their mutual need for belonging" but Fairweather's jaw-dropping plans for the mountains lead to fractures in the outcast group, "making them even more volatile and dangerous"."
""As these disparate stories converge on this remote landscape a unique thriller emerges, exploring themes of loss, radicalisation and survival," reads an official synopsis. "A wilderness thriller wrapped around an emotional core, Deadpoint is a literal cliffhanger, grounded in the tensions existing in our society today, exploring who we are, who we pretend to be, and what we do when the rope snaps.""
