Billy, a young
skinhead, joins in a racist attack on a
Black wedding party in
Brixton,
London, but then finds himself drawn to Marcia, a
Black woman whose flat is visible from his window. He visits Marcia and the couple have sex. From this point, the power dynamic between the two begins to reverse: in separate scenes, she slaps his face repeatedly as he is tied to the bed, feeds him
dog food, and scrubs off his
tattoos with bleach, including one of the
Union Flag. Finally, Marcia carves her name on Billy's back. Despite his pleas, she rejects him, finding solace with Kath, her flatmate, while Billy unsuccessfully attempts to
overdose on drugs and is saved by Neville, a black man living in the same apartment building as him. ==Cast==
