Linus Roache in The Apology from Shudder and RLJE Films.

Linus Roache was looking for a challenging role in many dramas he appeared in over the years. In The Apology, he found Jack Kingsley as one of the most compelling characters he portrayed on screen.

The indie film marks a complex drama between two people stuck in a cabin after a confession of a mystery is revealed. In a tug back-and-forth, the question of the next move after the apology was offered.

The film stars Anna Gunn alongside Linus Roache with Janeane Garofalo. Alison Locke makes her feature film directorial debut.

Here is the official synopsis:

In The Apology, twenty years after the disappearance of her daughter, recovering alcoholic Darlene Hagen (Anna Gunn) is preparing to host her family’s Christmas celebration with her best friend Gretchen (Janeane Garofalo). Late Christmas Eve, Darlene’s estranged ex-brother-in-law, Jack (Linus Roache), arrives unannounced, bearing nostalgic gifts and a heavy secret. Soon, Darlene finds herself caught between reason and ruthless instinct. Trapped together by a dangerous storm, a battle of wits escalates to a violent game of revenge.
