Director Pete Hirst states that the film is a return to great British gangster culture at a street level and a real story of death and deceit, but also the common man trying to become more.

The film features a star-studded cast including Paul Chuckle, Pete Hirst, Pete Bennett, George Newton and Joe Egan amongst an incredible cast starring Warrington’s own Johnny Wilson as Kenny a drug dealer with a heart.
Locals of Warrington will recognise scenes as it was partially shot in the town centre.
The film aims to be a huge success with tickets to the premier selling out in its first two weeks of going live.
