Amid a cast of real-life gang members and ex-prisoners, three teenagers adapt to the dog-eat-dog environment of a juvenile detention centre. Authentic and claustrophobic, the brutality of such an environment is portrayed to a violent degree, although what is actually added to Alan Clarke's visionary borstal drama 'Scum' remains unclear.
