Loosely adapted from Alan Clarke’s 1989 classic TV film, Nick Love’s film is set earlier in the 80’s and retells a similar story to the original – but from a different character’s point of view. The film centres on Dom, a young wannabe football casual, who gets drawn into the charismatic but dangerous world of the firm’s top boy, Bex.

May be it's to try and find peace in their lives or may be their trying to hide something. Whatever it is they're doing in little Aurora, some folks definitely do not appreciate their presence
