Written by Vincent O’Connell, produced by Sally Hibbin and Patrick Cassavetti, (Associate Producer Vincent O’Connell), directed by Joel Novoa Schneider. Universal Pictures/Parallax Films.
Synopsis
A young British Asian, Mo is a fast-rising police officer who goes undercover inflitrating Shadwell’s resurgent hooligan element, who are fired-up by Shadwell’s takeover by a Russian oligarch and their unlikely adventure into European competition. Mo quickly becomes embroiled in the schisms between local far-right groups, and plans to build a new mosque in the shadow of the Shadwell ground create an explosive environment in which football and political violence form a perfect storm of social unrest. In the midst of this, Mo is faced with the essential existential question of who he really is, and where he really belongs.
