See the films the platforms disagree about most →Based on true events, this story focuses on Jamie, a vulnerable teenager living in a deprived suburb. He falls under the influence of John, a charismatic man who enters his life and becomes a father figure. John initially empowers Jamie, but gradually introduces him to a brutal world of violence, rallying a group of disenfranchised men to target those they deem undesirable. Jamie is caught in a web of loyalty and fear, his moral compass eroding as he is drawn deeper into John's horrifying crimes.
