Dark comedy that exudes a well-defined feeling of outlandish exaggeration and startling truth in one smoothly paced motion. Directed by Stephen Norrington and set in London, it is the story of Billy Byrne (Max Beesley), a self-obsessed up-and-coming star. Working as an artist, Billy is on the verge of fame, with his girlfriend and his friends firmly behind him. However, when his moment of glory comes to an abrupt end, Byrne loses everything. Depressed and alone, he finds himself sinking into the spiraling depths of the London underworld, engulfed by a shady ring of crime in a network of tunnels underneath an old theater. Billy's decisions along the way are influenced by a street-smart young girl, Anna (Emily Corrie in her feature film debut), and the horridly tainted leader of a gang of child thieves played by stage and screen actor Tom Bell.

Começou bem no início, mas depois segue uma visão confusa e desfocada das dificuldades de um homem que podia ter tido tudo, mas que, por falta de autocontrolo, perdeu tudo e ficou destruído. Mais uma contribuição para a vaga de filmes britânicos dinâmicos de clips, que, porém, fica muito longe dos seus colegas (Danny Boyle, Guy Ritchie). Stephen Norrington quis dizer tanto e chegou a filosofar tanto que a forma dada não aguentou e a obra acabou no saco de lixo.
