Incendiary

A beautiful 25-year-old mother lives in a London East End housing project with her bomb-disposal cop husband Lenny and their young son. But tragedy strikes when a terrorist suicide bomb rips through the terraces of a packed Arsenal soccer stadium.

Set against an immediate-future London gripped by terrorist attack, Incendiary sees events on the intimate level of ordinary humans living in extraordinary times.

The young mother is tormented by guilt - she was with her cocky, Aston Martin-driving tabloid-journalist boyfriend when her loved ones perished in the explosion. But she gets a chance to exorcise her demons when she stumbles into details of a police cover-up orchestrated by Lenny's former boss. And a budding friendship with the son of a suicide bomber could provide the key to her salvation.

A hugely accessible, warmly emotional relationship drama with an unusual heroine and a highly vivid contemporary setting, Incendiary deftly fuses its elements to create a unique story with broad appeal. The film is based on the acclaimed novel by Chris Cleave.
