Synopsis

When Chris returns to London after a four-year absence, he looks up his old mate Shifty who now deals drugs, specifically crack. Chris tags along on Shifty's 'errands' and sees how the drug has taken hold of the community he once knew - and his friend's future. Made for just £100,000 under the Microwave Initiative, this gritty drama infused with ribald humour won rave reviews and award nominations for its superb leads.
