Description: The Show is a 2020 British fantasy neo-noir film, written by Alan Moore and directed by Mitch Jenkins. The film follows a detective arriving in Northampton searching for a missing artefact. It stars Tom Burke, Siobhan Hewlett, Ellie Bamber and Alan Moore. DETAILED PLOT Fletcher Dennis (Tom Burke) arrives in Northampton in search of a missing person James Mitchum and visits the local public library where he meets librarian Henry Gaunt (Richard Dillane) who offers to assist him in the search and appears to hack into the computer network of the local hospital to reveal that James was admitted to hospital the previous evening. Fletcher heads to the hospital where he discovers James died from his injuries. Fletcher follows a series of leads, meeting Faith Harrington (Siobhan Hewlett), child detectives in a garden shed, a local musician, the bouncer at the nightclub where James was injured and a local gangster. Faith relates her near-death experience to Fletcher, in which she met James and danced with him in a club. Fletcher reveals to Faith that he isn’t looking for a friend but in fact a private detective looking for a missing heirloom and his client is an elderly East End businessman, Patsy Bleeker. Fletcher’s dreams each night become increasingly strange until he dreams finds himself in the same club that Faith visited in her near-death experience. In that dream he meets Frank Metterton who explains that Patsy is not telling him the truth about himself or the heirloom. The next day Fletcher explains to Faith what he discovered about Patsy in the dream. They decide they must lure Patsy to Northampton to resolve the matter. Patsy arrives in Northampton that evening, and with the help of his henchmen, kidnap Faith in order to lure Fletcher into an ambush. Fletcher defeats Patsy and his henchmen and rescues Faith. The events are watched on CCTV by Henry Gaunt, dressed as a masked superhero.
