A naïve 15-year-old (Jessica Sula) arrives in Brixton to live with her estranged mother (Naomi Ryan).
She's been living with her grandparents in Trinidad for 10 years and is initially shy and ill-at-ease in her new London surroundings.
Nevertheless, she attracts two very different suitors, swaggering wannabe rapper Lucien Laviscount and sensitive Ntonga Mwanza, but her desperation to fit in leads to tragedy.
Inspired by a true story, British writer-director Rebecca Johnson gives a fresh, female perspective on urban gang crime with this powerful debut feature and gets a beguiling lead performance from Sula.
