Harris Dickinson’s stunning directorial debut stars Frank Dillane as Mike, a rough sleeper in London struggling to break free from a cycle of self-destruction while trying to turn his life around. On the streets of London, Mike is hustling to get by. Roadside evangelizers won't let him sleep in peace, his slippery friend won't pay up the money he stole, and before long, he finds himself in trouble with the law. As he struggles to reintegrate into society, shuffling between gigs as a line cook and a trash collector, he must balance a newfound sense of community with his own itch for self-destruction.
"A breathtaking work of overwhelming humanity and a debut for the ages" – The Wrap
