CENTIPEDE: discovering the dirty truth
A confession without a motive. A town built on silence. A brother who won’t let it lie.
Dylan Anderson kills his father.
He tells the police so himself. What he will not say - to anyone - is why.
The police are satisfied. A confession is enough, and Dylan is quickly put away, his motive deemed irrelevant.
His twin brother, Robert, is not satisfied.
Thirty years after fleeing a violent childhood, Robert Anderson - now a successful environmental filmmaker - returns to the North Yorkshire market town of Skipton. Haunted by the brother he left behind, he begins to unpick their shared past, searching for the truth that Dylan refuses to speak.
What Robert uncovers reaches far beyond his family. With the help of the close-knit team he has relied on in some of the world’s most dangerous places, he exposes a network of respected local men bound together by silence, cruelty and power. They are old now, but they are not harmless.
As Robert presses on, he learns that some histories are buried for a reason, and that loyalty, once broken, comes at a cost.
When Robert Anderson sets out to uncover the truth, he does not stop easily, even when the town would rather he did.
