Лондон, 80-е годы. У них есть работа, есть семьи, они фанаты футбола… А ещё они - Банда. Таких группировок несколько по всей Британии. У них свои кодексы и понятия, которые они чтят и - они же и нарушают. Но ничто не длится вечно… Жестокие драки - «стенка на стенку» - из-за территории, из-за власти, из-за мести… Попадёшь всего один раз в эту трясину, и выбраться из неё будет нелегко. Это простое и жестокое правило очень быстро усваивает парнишка по имени Доминик, жаждавший заслужить авторитет. Столкнувшись с различными сторонами жизни фанатов, он начинает расставаться с подростковыми иллюзиями.
