Upon being released from prison, Ricky (
Ashley Walters) is collected by Wisdom, an eccentric and naive friend who is desperate to establish himself within their neighbourhood. Immediately after arriving back, Wisdom accidentally breaks a wing mirror off a car belonging to Godfrey, a local gang member. The following confrontation leads to Ricky pulling away Wisdom in an attempt to keep peace. Wisdom later returns a gun to Ricky, who stores it within his bedroom, which is shared with his younger brother Curtis who finds the weapon and hides it away for his brother himself. Wisdom hunts down Godfrey for claiming he is scared to fight, and shoots the
Staffordshire bull terrier which Godfrey used to threaten Wisdom during the earlier altercation as revenge. As a result, Godfrey and his associate destroy Wisdom's car with a baseball bat and drive past his home shouting that he is "dead". Knowing that Godfrey would soon kill him otherwise, Wisdom attempts to kill Godfrey. However, he fails and is seen by Godfrey. As the two flee from here, Curtis accidentally shoots his friend Rio when Rio suggests they take the gun out and play with it. Their mother when she next sees Ricky, asks him to go home, pack his belongings and leave while they are at church to give Curtis a chance to avoid the gang lifestyle. Just before heading home, he goes to Wisdom's house to get the money Wisdom told him to take before he left, only to find Wisdom dead, presumably at the hands of his rival, he leaves after sitting there for a long time thinking. As he packs his bags, he asks Curtis to go to the takeaway and get a kebab, and when Curtis returns, his brother has already left. As Ricky is waiting at the train station, mysterious hooded figures are appearing and closing in around Ricky. As Ricky tries to flee, he is gunned down by Godfrey and his gang. His body is later identified, and the film ends with Curtis reclaiming the gun from where he hid it and throwing it into the river. ==Cast==
