Synopsis

We are all products of our environment. Some environments are just harder to survive in.
Welcome to London, 2012. Home of the Olympic Games. Behind the veil of newly injected prosperity lies a community that's impossible to enter and even harder to escape.
After 15 years in prison ex-dealer Kirby wants three simple things; to take back his turf, to get laid and to take revenge on the gangsters who have disrespected him. But, a humiliating run-in with his former protégé sparks a chain of violence, vengeance and lethal reprisals that ripple through the community of drug dealers, pimps and innocents all swept up into the cycle of violence and deception.
Then there's Aaron: street-wise yet vulnerable, just trying to get by and do the right thing while his ruthless friend, Ed, will stop at nothing to reclaim a mobile phone leading to deadly consequences.
