Beginning in the throes of a bustling London borough: home to families, store owners, market sellers and packed barber shops. Two brothers sit at home innocently passing the time. As the community experiences a great tragedy, this once vibrant neighborhood is sent into chaos. We see this unfold through the actions of our Hero whilst keeping the innocent perspective of his younger brother. The Hero becomes lost to his anger and takes to the streets. However from the rush of bodies, outcry and protest, something ethereal arrives, a cherub-like figure appears. A youthful specter that embodies the change the people are crying out for and symbolizes the grief that underlies their pleas. Our Hero's decisions leave him estranged from his brother facing danger.
