Rose, a waitress at a nearby cafe, becomes witness to the final moments of a rival gang member. Pinkie needs to make sure she won't talk and so takes her on a date. Rose subsequently falls in love with Pinkie and as the truth as to what he is really like dawns on her she vows to stand by him.
The film is based in the sixties (Mods and Rockers fighting on the beach) and has an all star cast including Dame Helen Mirren and John Hurt. However, it is the two lead characters that steal the show. Sam Riley (Pinkie) and Andrea Riseborough (Rose) put in great performances that keep you on the edge of your seat throughout.
