Bolton Brow

Bolton Brow marks the rural origin of vet Nicky Baxter's drive to euthanize sheep crippled by theft and mauling. Close to the crime site, this Yorkshire locale frames the botched procedure's fallout: incomplete injections extend agony, dogs devour tainted flesh and convulse from pentobarbital, while Catherine conceals her bruised cheek and stitches. Isolation heightens the violence's raw edge, turning pastoral routine into spiraling tragedy.
