Die Trying
A chillingly compelling psychological thriller about the chances we take and their deadly consequences…
On the surface, Adam and Jemma are a normal couple with a nice life in Bristol: they share a young son, busy days, work and friends to juggle.
But Jemma is not alright – she’s lost her sense of self and each choice she makes is tempting her to play a dangerous game to find her spark again.
Adam isn’t coping, either, his painful past threatening to overturn the present. His coping device back then was unorthodox: a glass die, rolled to decide any decision. At first it seemed like a game. But games have winners and losers…
For Jemma and Adam, a few simple choices are all it takes to pitch them into a deadly maze of secrets and lies. Will they find a way out – or does fate have other plans?
DIE TRYING is a dazzling psychological thriller that asks if any of us would gamble everything we have, and what really are the killer consequences of every choice we make…
