- Synopsis
- Lucy McKendrick writes, directs and stars in FANGS, a darkly comedic exploration of gender, power and sexuality, which also stars Joel Edgerton as Freddie “Fangs” Ferguson, an incarcerated serial killer with whom our true-crime obsessed anti-heroine, Teddy, becomes fixated with.
  
  Teddy Turner – a twenty-something trust fund baby and all-round mess – finds herself in the throes of an
  existential crisis. On one hand, she has it all: a beautiful home, a successful fiancé, a high-powered job. On the other, she lives a privileged life controlled by her overbearing father and boss, Ralph, who appears more invested in her fiancé Sam than in her, and lacks the cut-throat attitude to get ahead in the family business: the ownership and management of private prison facilities. Everything changes when she learns about Fangs, a notorious underworld criminal figure imprisoned in one of their facilities. Overwhelmed with desire for the self-proclaimed psychopath, Teddy begins to write him letters, revealing her secret desires to break free of her cloistered world and the social expectations that come along with it.
  
  Under Fangs’ mentorship, Teddy learns to embrace her darker instincts, which propels her forward in the corporate realm, but in turn unleashes a violent shadow self which, with her wedding looming, threatens to spiral her life spectacularly out of control.
