Two feuding brothers. Two failing lumber yards. One fatal evening driven by pride.

Set in the 1970s Cotswolds, this story follows Charlie and Gordon Nash, sons of a domineering father who pushed them into a family business neither of them was suited to run. Raised on favouritism, resentment, and a misplaced sense of duty, the brothers split their inheritance into rival timber yards just six miles apart. Confusing names, sloppy practices, and a very public feud slowly turned the village against them.

When a botched school contract humiliates them both, the rivalry spirals into reckless territory. Blinded by anger, each brother drives to confront the other, unknowingly crossing paths on a country lane. They never meet. Instead, they arrive at empty yards, where years of negligence, pride, and bad decisions catch up with them in a pair of tragic accidents.

The result is total collapse. Both businesses shut down. Both families are left unsupported. And a village is left with a cautionary tale about how resentment, jealousy, and the need to please a long-dead parent can destroy not just lives, but generations.

A true crime–style rural tragedy about pride, family, and the cost of never letting go.
