Synopsis

This British drama centers on Kevin, a grippingly charismatic and unshakeably confident young man who harbours an insatiable desire for respect and power, believing crime is the key to achieving his goals. Despite a silent yearning for justice, Kevin paradoxically commits the very injustices he despises, leading him down a dark and violent path. While he often appears cold, ruthless, and menacing, his true motives remain enigmatic.

As Kevin forms an unexpected friendship with a new female companion, he is forced to confront his inner demons. Meanwhile, Jerome, Kevin's arch rival in the neighbourhood, relentlessly plots to harm and outshine him. Jealous of Kevin's influence and respect, Jerome devises a cunning plan to catch him off guard in the most unsuspecting ways.

Compounding Kevin's troubles are feelings of abandonment by his estranged father, the distress of living with a mother in an abusive relationship, and harsh judgment from a religious zealot. His father's departure during his early childhood left a void filled with resentment, yet Kevin secretly yearns for his father's love and acceptance. He blames his mother, Nikao, for his father's absence and often expresses his disdain. Nikao, battling her own demons of depression and low self-worth, struggles to maintain any relationship, especially her violent romance with her brute boyfriend, Mugabe.

When Kevin is finally faced with a harsh reality check, he spirals deeper into chaos, ultimately realising that his greatest adversary is himself. While he may possess a magnetic aura, in reality, he repels as much as he attracts. In a world where trust and loyalty are scarce, he must quickly learn to differentiate between friend and foe.
