Synopsis

Thriller set in a small, Welsh coastal town. Tin Man, an itinerant is sent to jail for the murder of Jenny, a local teenager and beauty pageant winner who was actually killed (accidentally) in an arguement with her would-be boyfriend Joe and his pal Glen. Some 15 years later, a woman arrives in town from Alaska with her teenage daughter Nicky in tow. Joe and Glen are perplexed to discover that Nicky is the spitting image of Jenny and, to make matters worse, Tin Man is about to be released from jail. Into this melée walks new town policeman Max Bracchi....
