Vertigo Releasing, in association with Wildcard Distribution, have released Amongst The Wolves. The highly anticipated new crime thriller from acclaimed Irish director Mark O’Connor, has now been released across all major digital platforms (from 2nd June.)

Mark O’Connor, best known for Cardboard Gangsters and King of the Travellers, brings his trademark raw and authentic storytelling to Amongst The Wolves, delivering an unflinching look at the intense, gritty underworld of organised crime and the fragile loyalties that bind it together.The visceral and gripping crime thriller stars Golden Globe  nominee Aidan Gillen (Game of Thrones, Kin, Love/Hate), Luke McQuillan (Darklands, Game of Thrones), Jade Jordan (i), Louise Bourke (Let The Wrong One In), Helen Behan (This is England) and newcomer Daniel Fee.

Co-written by O’Connor and McQuillan, the film follows Danny, a homeless man on the streets of Dublin, grappling with the ghosts of his past, who finds himself caught in a cycle of despair and survival. Haunted by memories of his time serving in the Royal Irish Army in Afghanistan, Danny’s life takes a turn when he encounters Will, a young teenager on the run from a dangerous drug gang. Despite his own inner turmoil, Danny takes Will under his wing, forming a fragile yet profound bond with him. With Power and his ruthless gang closing in, Danny must confront his own inner demons and battle the demons of the past in order to protect Will. 

Produced by Bread and Circus Productions and Stalker Films, Amongst The Wolves had its UK premiere at the Manchester Film Festival in March, the same festival where O’Connor’s Cardboard Gangsters earned multiple awards, including Best Feature Film.
