ComedyDrama
Stevie, fresh from prison in Scotland, finds a job on a London construction site. Working conditions are poor and most of the men are working under aliases, due to immigration status and to not conflict with unemployment. Some help Stevie secure housing, squatting in a council estate. Then Stevie meets Susan, from Ireland, an aspiring singer.
VIBE
A raw, unvarnished look at the struggles of London's underclass. It's funny and bleak, capturing the camaraderie and desperation of people just trying to get by. Feels authentic and lived-in.
