This British gangster movie is a poorly directed, badly written, inadequately acted tale of a black footballer, Jerome (Adam Deacon), suddenly elevated to star status by an unnamed London club. He's trying to remain in touch with the homies he left behind on his East End estate, but unfortunately the chief gang leader, the brutal Baron (David Ajala), starts demanding large sums of protection money and threatens the lives of Jerome's mother and brother. Nothing rings true, not even the tones on the characters' mobile phones.
