In this powerful directorial debut by Harris Dickinson (Babygirl, Triangle of Sadness), homeless drug addict Mike (Frank Dillane) tries to get his life back on track after a stint in prison. He finds work, a roof over his head, and even a tentative new relationship. Mike longs for peace and stability, but on the streets of London, a misstep is always lurking. The hopeful yet self-destructive Mike not only reaches his own limits, but also encounters a system that repeatedly fails him.
