Synopsis
1990. England. A revolution is building across the UK. Dilapidated
warehouses and factories come to life at night. Euphoric teens defy
police bans and cordons to embrace life and the dance floor. Acid
house has arrived and friends Dylan (Jack O’connell) and Matt
(Henry Lloyd-Hughes) are at the heart of it. This is their story.
Tired of scamming their way to a quick buck, Matt and Dylan put
together their first rave with the help of their mates and the
maddest DJ on the scene, Captain Acid (Tom Meeten). When their
success catches the eye of London clubbing kingpin, Gary Mac
(Stephen Wight), the boys are whisked away into a VIP world of sun
soaked villas dripping in girls, bin bags full of cash, dance floor
anthems, drugs and temptation.
Soon local thug John ‘The Rat’ Anderson (Ben Batt) gets wind of
their success and ruthlessly forces his way into the business
threatening everything that Matt and Dylan have worked for. What
began as celebration of music and friendship soon becomes something
far more sinister and dangerous.
