JJ is an aspiring MC exploding onto London's exciting outlaw urban music scene. He's got the skills, he's got the rhymes, and he's got the drive. But there's a problem — not only is JJ a white boy from the sticks — he's also gay. And gay — in the world of hip-hop and ragga — ain't good. So when JJ resolves to come onstage at the Urban Slam Finals, taking his boyfriend Orlando with him, he knows it's going to get a bit grimy... but when the couple falls foul of the Infamous ghetto-rap crew, the Ilford Illmanics and Orlando is beaten into a state of permanent brain-damage, all of their lives are changed forever in a way no one could have ever foreseen.

La première moitié du film est d’une violence quasi insoutenable. Ensuite on décèle davantage la mise en scène de théâtre (c’est l’adaptation d’une pièce) et les intentions didactiques très marquées. Loin d’être parfait mais généreux. Musique ragga d’enfer.
