The year is 1964. The place is Brighton. A once idyllic seaside town suddenly plagued by gangs of sharp suited Mods and greasy Rockers looking for a riot. Amongst the chaos lurks top Mod, infamous hoodlum and aspiring gangster Pinkie Brown. Ruthless, ambitious and horrifically sadistic, Pinkie will stop at nothing in his violent quest to make a name for himself within the criminal underworld. But when a cold bloodied killing links him to a shy waitress named Rose, he uses seduction to secure her silence. Can Rose be saved in time from her blind devotion or will Pinkie drag her further into a world of death and damnation? (official distributor synopsis)
