Panic

Dylan, a young man living on an isolated farm in rural Wales, is haunted by terrible nightmares. Shady deals with local drug dealers and a fractious relationship with his own father do nothing to dispel the mounting sense of dread. The only hope he has comes from his girlfriend Jenny, and the promise of a future together, somewhere else. But time is running out, and Dylan has to move fast if he's going to outrun his own demons.
