NIGHTBIRDS (DVD + Blu-ray)
A film by Andy Milligan
While living rough on the street of London's East End, a young man, Dink (Berwick Kaler, Coronation Street), encounters the mysterious Dee (Julie Shaw, The Big Switch) and they begin a relationship. When tenderness gives way to cruelty they become consumed by darkness.
