Justin Edgar directs this coming-of-age drama set in the 1990s following three friends at a pivotal moment in their lives. The central character of the film is Jack (Jamie Blackley), a young man whose poor background hasn't quelled his hopes for a brighter future & who anxiously awaits news on whether he has been accepted for a university grant or not. He is joined for a Friday night out by Parsons (Mike Bailey), whose future appears to be in the hands of his parents & wilful girlfriend Claire (Rosamund Hanson) rather than his own, & Chunks (Sean Teale), whose wealthy upbringing can't disguise the issues he struggles with. Together, the three friends comprise ' The Freaks'
- a label they've given themselves in recognition of their perception as misfits
- & prepare themselves for a night that, one way or another, will change their lives forever...
