Description

In a remote Welsh village by the sea, four friends grow up together.

Plain but charismatic Del is the ringleader, unstoppable, supremely confident in her ability to get her own way.

Neil, shy and stuttering, and Ricky, full of rage and loneliness, are misfits at school until Del takes them under her wing.

Steph is the outsider, but she too is mesmerized by Del's devil-may-care approach to life.

They hang around together - mucking about in the woods, searching for treasure on the seashore, doing dares, sharing cigarettes.

Then, one terrible day, the gang is broken up for good.

Meeting ten years later in the now stagnating village, Neil, Ricky and Steph revisit their childhood haunts and re-live the memories that have cast a shadow over each of their lives.

Del is, by turns, the beating heart at the centre of all their stories and a gaping absence.

Set against the backdrop of the northern Welsh coast, and told through the voices of Neil, Ricky and Steph - the children left behind - Revenant pieces together their memories of childhoods broken by desertion, absence and death, and uncovers the secrets and betrayals of childhood friendships, with thoughtful, shocking brilliance.
