Teenage brothers Dean (Poulter) and Jimmy (Williams) live alone in a crummy East London flat, but when their ex-con father Bill (Creed-Miles) returns to their lives, tension hits. The gangster milieu may be over-familiar, but writer/director Fletcher and co-writer King tell their story with unexpected maturity, very funny comedy and powerful emotion.
