Synopsis

In New York City, Ash (Riz Ahmed) works as a secret intermediary between whistleblowers and corrupt companies. When Sarah Grant (Lily James) meets with a lawyer because she plans to make public a report on the side effects of her genetically modified wheat from the Cybo Sementis Research Institutes, he refers her to Ash, who maintains anonymity through a telecommunications device for the deaf that communicates exclusively via relay service.

Ash agrees to help her return the documents, withdraw her complaint, and thus escape the intimidation campaign that the company is subjecting her to, but getting to know her will cause Ash to break his own rules, even though his life will also be in danger.

'Relay' is directed by David MacKenzie ('Hell or High Water') with a script by Justin Piasecki and also stars Sam Worthington, Willa Fitzgerald, Eisa Davis, Matthew Maher and Jared Abrahamson. The soundtrack was composed by Tony Doogan, who also collaborated with Mackenzie on the Netflix film 'The Outlaw King',
