The story
Born in England, Omar Ali is a young Pakistani-British man living in South London during the mid-1980s.
He works for a brief time as a car washer in one of his uncle's garages, and then is assigned to manage a run-down laundrette.
Running out of money, Omar and Johnny sell one of Salim's drug deliveries to make cash for the laundrette's substantial renovation.
