Sixty years after Allied Forces used the occult to win the arms race, a team of mercenaries uncover their facility and release an unthinkable evil.

Charlie's birthday takes an unexpected turn as his baby sister falls ill, leaving him overlooked and seeking solace at his grandmother's house.

During the 1955 arms race, a secret experiment aids the Allied Forces, but it opens a Pandora’s box of horrors that the military cannot control.

The Trick, starring Jason Watkins (Line of Duty, The Lost Honour of Christopher Jefferies) and Victoria Hamilton (Doctor Foster, Life), tells the story of world-renowned, respected scientist Professor Philip Jones (Watkins), the Director of the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia, who found himself at the eye of an international media storm and the victim of cyber terrorism in 2009. With time running out against an unseen enemy, The Trick looks at the potentially devastating consequences for humanity from climate change denial; how a media storm undermined public confidence in the science and how the concept of ‘truth’ took a back seat causing us to lose a decade of action. The film charts the unjustified persecution of Phil Jones, his wife Ruth’s (Hamilton) fierce support of her husband and the fight for the ultimate exoneration of himself and the science.
