Steve Mackleson (Craig Fairbrass) is a convicted double murderer, feared and respected within the brutal walls of a maximum-security prison. He keeps his head down, avoids trouble, and serves his time in silence—until two unexpected visitors shatter the fragile order of his world.

First, a young and vulnerable new cellmate arrives, drawing Steve into a dangerous game of loyalty and survival. Then, a letter from the outside brings a shock to his core: his estranged daughter wants to meet. With the ghosts of his violent past closing in and tensions mounting behind bars, Steve is forced to confront the man he has become—and the man he might still have a chance to be.

Raw, gripping, and emotionally charged, A Violent Man is a powerful character-driven drama that explores the thin line between justice and vengeance, punishment and forgiveness. Featuring a commanding performance from Craig Fairbrass, this is prison drama at its most human—and most haunting.
