Cal, an 18 year old gang member has nothing in his life except drugs, sex, random acts of violence and a secret that he keeps hidden: his unspoken desires for his best friend, Jonno. Nessa, their controlling gang leader, suspects that there is something going on between them.

An innocent student, Olivier (19), falls victim to one of her plans and is mugged on her orders by the gang. Cal steps in to restrain them and creates a distraction allowing Olivier to run free, and soon Cal and Olivier are overtaken by the embrace of the first flush of love.

Nessa can't contain her rage for Cal's disloyalty to the gang and sets about hunting him down, intent on destroying him once and for all. As the showdown unfolds, Nessa loses all control of events and Jonno explodes in act of sexual aggression that leaves no one unscathed and everyone traumatized.
