Filth

This Little Piggy went to town!


Filth
A scheming, bigoted and corrupt policeman is in line for a promotion and will stop at nothing to get what he wants. Enlisted to solve a brutal murder and threatened by the aspirations of his colleagues, he sets about ensuring their ruin, right under the nose of the Chief Inspector. As he turns his colleagues against one another by stealing their wives and exposing their secrets, he starts to lose himself in a web of deceit that he can no longer control. His past is slowly catching up with him, and a missing wife, a crippling drug habit and suspicious colleagues start to take their toll on his sanity. The question is: can he keep his grip on reality long enough to disentangle himself from the filth?
