28-year-old Scot Christian Matlock is forging a career as a professional bounty hunter in America. Based in Virginia, he spends his days and nights hunting and apprehending fugitives who have skipped bail. This film follows Christian on the chase, and discovers how a chequered past in Scotland has helped him succeed in this dangerous job. “Christian Matlock is a bounty hunter who spends his days and nights tracking down fugitives who have skipped bail in the US state of Virginia. With his dark sunglasses, his gun and his tattoos, he looks every inch the movie stereotype of the maverick American law enforcement officer, but until seven years ago Christian lived in Brechin. He swapped the east coast of Scotland for the eastern seaboard of the US when he was 21. He worked briefly as a bouncer in Washington DC before obtaining a licence as a bail enforcement agent, often referred to as bounty hunters. They are contracted by bondsmen, money lenders who offer to cover bail money for those who can’t afford it in exchange for a 10% commission”
