Harking back to classic crime and detective fiction, Abattoir is a film noir style whodunnit.
Taking us back to post-war London, our protagonist and dark hero is the damaged and complex, Mike Kearney whose unorthodox style of policing attempts to unravel the disturbing case of a serial killer.
London, 1958
Detective Inspector Mike Kearney is an alcoholic World War II vet who moonlights as a gangland enforcer. Life plods along comfortably at his own pace but after he's sought out by a woman to do a seemingly easy job, he ends up on the trail of a sadistic serial killer, forcing him to face the shadows of his past and push further into extreme territories.
