Description
In the heart of post-industrial Yorkshire, Gordon, a grieving widower, struggles to adjust to a life of harsh quiet in a house haunted by more than just memories. His teenage granddaughter, Cassie, trapped in the chaos of adolescence, fights to carve out her own identity amid a fractured family and a community grappling with the collapse of working-class pride.
When an ominous black dog begins to stalk Gordon, the presence of this omen of death cannot be ignored. Specters of the past loom heavy as Gordon fears his late wife has returned to their broken home. Cassie is preyed upon by older boys who lead her so far astray that she may not find her way back. And still the question remains: for whom has the dog come?
Set against the desolation of late '90s Doncaster, Shuck is a gripping modern Gothic tale that weaves together themes of grief, familial mental health, and the predatory forces that emerge when community falls apart. As the boundaries between the living and the dead blur, Gordon and his granddaughter must confront their predators before the Shuck consumes them both.
Raw, atmospheric, and deeply poignant, Shuck captures the enduring spirit—and haunting struggles—of a community left in the shadow of its former glory.
