Plot The film opens with three men burying an unseen figure, which is on fire, in a secluded field. Bull is a mysterious man seeking vengeance on the men that tried to kill him. He systematically works his way through the group that double-crossed him, beginning with an unknown man whom he brazenly murders in the street before moving on to his ex-wife's auntie, Cheryl. He kills her and her husband Ollie in their home before finding and killing Marco, one of the gangsters involved. Through flashbacks to ten years ago, it is revealed that Bull was an enforcer working for his father-in-law Norm, a ruthless gang boss. Bull's unrestrained psychopathy and tremendous capacity for violence was an effective tool for their work, but put everyone on edge. He refused to walk away from his son Aiden after learning that his wife Gemma, a heroin addict, was cheating on him with his friend and fellow enforcer Gary. After failing to convince Bull to leave Aiden alone, Norm, Gemma, Gary, Marco and Clive kidnapped him and bundled him into the back of a car, with Clive apologising to him as he closed the boot. They drove him to an abandoned caravan, burned him alive and shot him in front of Aiden. Nobody knows how he's returned, but Norm promises Gemma vengeance for her auntie’s death. Norm finds Bull's mother Marge and tortures her for information, against the wishes of his gang. It is revealed that Bull has been watching all of this without helping. He enters his mother's home and asks her if she wants "help", then smothers her to end her suffering. Clive, a gang member who has always been terrified of Bull, is walking his kids home when Bull pulls up and kidnaps them. He takes them to the funfair and threatens Clive into luring Gary to the fair. Once Gary arrives, Bull lets Clive and his children go home. He takes Gary hostage with a knife, interrogates him to find out which town Gemma is now living in, and slashes his thigh while they ride on the waltzers, leaving him to bleed out. In Gemma's town, he tracks down a heroin dealer and cuts his hand off, takes his money, then forces him to reveal Gemma's address. With the heroin dealer unconscious in the back of the car, he drives to Gemma's house, breaks in, and forces her to trick Norm into coming by. When Norm arrives, he believes the unconscious drug dealer to be Bull, and orders gang member Colin to shoot him dead. However when he enters the house, Bull ambushes him with a knife. He tortures both Norm and Gemma to get his son's location. Gemma reveals that Aiden, after being forced to watch his father burned alive
