Tras la controvertida extradición a Estados Unidos del narcotraficante Christopher "Dudus" Coke, el caos se ha apoderado de los barrios que éste controlaba al oeste de Kingston, Jamaica. Bandas de adolescentes se matan por cualquier motivo, por pequeño y ridículo que sea, fomentando una cultura de violencia que asocia la hombría a las armas. Un grupo de exgangsters de Denham Town, bastión previo de "Dudus", se ha unido para convertirse en interruptores de la violencia, un tipo de mediadores que intenta poner fin a este conflicto sin sentido.
After the controversial extradition to the U.S of the famous druglord Christopher "Dudus" Coke, chaos reigns in his former areas of control in West Kingston, Jamaica. Bands of teenagers kill each other for any little reason. Although violence in Jamaica is always portrayed as drug related, this film unveils a real truth which links a culture of violence to masculinity and shooting guns. Most of the young people from the ghetto don´t even know why they kill each other but they are trapped in this cycle of violence. Former gangsters from Denham Town, Dudu´s previous stronghold, have become violence interrupters, a type of mediators who attempt to put an end to this nonsense situation.
