Film Synopsis

Synopsis:

After leaving his house without his friend and protector, Colin, Stephen is viciously ambushed by a gang of five older teenagers who are bullies from his school, who take it upon themselves to try and turn Stephen against his family and friends, particularly Colin. The leader of the gang of the group of bullies, Trent, is a heavy influence on the way Stephen thinks and acts, due to Trent’s s disliking of Colin.

Stephen’s attitude eventually changes over a period of time, and he begins to defy his teachers, truant his lessons, and stay away out late at night with this new gang he has slowly become part of. It comes to the point where Colin must now find Trent, and confront him face to face. Colin’s attempts to find him are thwarted by Trent’s cousin, Austin, and his own gang. Colin is heavily beaten, and whilst recovering in hospital, is visited by one of Austin’s gang members and threatens Colin with his life if he continues to thwart Trent’s actions. This new gang has now become an even bigger problem for Colin’s attempts to help Stephen.

After two weeks, in which Colin leaves hospital, after seeking advice from Trent’s brother, Ryan, who he is on good terms with, they both secretly attend a gang confrontation between Trent’s gang and Austin’s gang, involving the exchange of the drug cocaine. After Stephen is ordered by Trent to give it to Austin, Colin and Ryan burst onto the scene, and in a heated exchange of words and physical violence, Ryan is stabbed by Austin. When Trent realises who has stabbed his brother, both gangs turn on each other, and an immense feud begins, allowing Colin to escape with Stephen. After Colin has returned Stephen home, he himself finds that he was stabbed during the clash of the gangs, and he himself is again rushed to hospital. Due to the severity of injuries he sustained from the attack by Austin and his gang earlier on, Colin dies, with Stephen at his bedside in the hospital, leaving Stephen’s conscious reeling and mulling over the consequences of the actions and choices he took.
