Plot
Drug dealer, Flash (Dylan Duffus) receives a phone call from Angel (Yohance Watson) announcing that he is being released early from prison and wants the £500,000 he has left Flash for safekeeping during his incarceration. Flash is £100,000 short of the full amount and is pushed for time. Flash is forced to strike a deal with a rival gang member and drug dealer, Evil (Duncan Tobias) who more than lives up to his name. The film also includes the daily issues Flash faces due to his past actions as he is pressured by his three irate baby mothers and his grandmother due to his lack of involvement in his children's lives and constant upkeep of trouble. The movie follows Flash's race against time as he is pursued by a rival gang called The Zampa Boys as Flash is part of OSC (Old Street Crew). The movie reflects the reality of many young males involved in drug and gang activity within Birmingham and is said to give an insight into the notorious rivalry between the Burger Bar Boys and Johnson Crew.
