Mid-budget thrillers rarely make it to the big screen anymore so Relay is something of a rare beast.

Directed by Hell or High Water’s David Mackenzie, Relay tells the story of Ash (Riz Ahmed), a mysterious fixer who helps broker lucrative payoffs between potential whistleblowers and their corrupt corporations.

His next client is Sarah Grant (Lily James), who has been intimidated and threatened by her former employers because she managed to sneak out incriminating evidence about their genetically enhanced wheat.
