LOGLINE
Love, death and racism in a run down seaside town (that they forgot to close down)

SYNOPSIS
An outsider befriends an enigmatic Greek in a small seaside town. It's a friendship that ends in bloodshed, racism and violence…

Three 'outsiders' come together at the Greek kebab shop in a dull English seaside town. David, the drifter, seems to be going nowhere. He befriends Petros, the son of the kebab shop owner. Petros is enigmatic, attractive and cool. He shares David's love of blues and jazz music. The third 'outsider' is an old army colonel.

All are ill suited to their surroundings - and lost in unique ways. This is made brutally apparent when the 'outsiders' come in contact with a group of violent, racist locals. The gang leader, Alex, finds Petros intimidating… and when his girlfriend leaves him for Petros, the results are devastating.
