Dunleavy paces back and forth like a caged animal in his cell in Belfast prison. His rage and frustration grows in a very troubling way. He is about to explode. An expert is needed... fast!

"Fatal Extraction is based on an event that has really happened, an anecdote that the screenwriter's father told me. Telling stories is my obsession and also listening to them. My childhood has been full of moments from my family life where stories and ballads hold sway. By watching and listening to my parents I learned to make films and tell some pretty tales" (C. McKeown).
