Knights

Knights (Arron) has just been released from prison and has his mind set on making a new life for himself, but that can be hard when you live in the environment that breeds gang violence.

Knights heads home to his mother’s two bed flat in Kennington, south London to find that his little brother Drew, who idolises him, has followed in his footsteps and found himself running with the wrong people. Knights now not only needs to keep himself on the strait and narrow, but his little brother too.

As he begins to try to rebuild his life and follow his dreams of becoming a world class boxer and finally making something of his life, his old friends drag him back in to their world of gang violence and robberies with the hopes of one last job to see Knights through until his dreams come true.

On the sidelines Benny, his head boxing coach and father figure, hangs on with belief that Knights can change his life around and prove to everyone including himself that he can make it.

As Knights, Drew and Benny make their way through this gauntlet of life, Knights is pushed to the limit. His life flips and turns like a boat caught in a storm until he finally has a taste of victory and secures himself a cruiser weight win on one of the largest boxing promotions in the world.

All seems to be well, but as with every sordid tale, it is short lived. Knights is forced to quell his anger and rage when Drew is stabbed and all he wants is revenge.
