The story

The opening scene shows Frankie being beaten by a small group of men, and the rest of the film is shown as a flashback leading up to that point.

The film is split into three sections: Frankie's troubled childhood, his violent adolescence as a ska-loving skinhead who commands a small gang, and a period of change, in which Frankie tries to believe in hope and love.

This allows Frankie to exorcise some of his demons, and he loses his desire to fight.
