Caryl and Meirion have lived in their postcard-perfect village for years – raising a family and repeatedly decorating, whilst watching their community slowly disappear. Now Caryl wants to escape, but Meirion defiantly wants to stay. Is it loyalty? Belonging? Or a dark secret that will keep them here forever? Kill Thy Neighbour is a dark comedy about love, marriage and feeling trapped in your own life.
