HOLLOW is a dark, revenge thriller exploring the moral and religious intricacies surrounding the concept of revenge and redemption.
Synopsis: Set on an impoverished, working-class council estate, HOLLOW tells the story of two lost souls; Laura Ryan, a struggling single mother consumed by grief having lost her son to a drunk-driver and Father Hill, a racially abused local vicar, a man-on-the-edge with dwindling faith.
Driven by a strained bloodlust, Laura sets out on a voyeuristic campaign again her son’s killer, hell-bent on violent retribution. However, her deep rooted morale standards leave her hidden in the shadows time and again. She tortures herself for not having the strength to avenge her child and she is consumed by misguided guilt.
After seeking guidance from her local vicar, Father Hill, the pair explore the intricacies in the words written in the bible: Romans 12: Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.”
Father Hill prays for the lord to take his revenge and save Laura from damnation but his prayers continually go unanswered.
Both fuelled by a growing lack of faith, a growing hatred for the world around them and the injustices that litter their estate, the pair head toward a tragic and violent climax that will change both their lives forever.
They say the lord works in mysterious ways...don’t they.
