On the streets of London, Mike is hustling to get by. Roadside evangelizers won’t let him sleep in peace, his slippery friend won’t pay up the money he stole, and before long, he finds himself in trouble with the law. As he struggles to reintegrate into society, shuffling between gigs as a line cook and a trash collector, he must balance a newfound sense of community with his own itch for self-destruction.
Slyly funny and imbued with a warm humanity, Harris Dickinson’s thrilling directorial debut follows Mike, played with tragic charm and a visceral magnetism by Cannes prize-winner Frank Dillane, in a propulsive portrait of life on the margins that offers a raw, anarchic snapshot of a slow tumble into oblivion.
