Character BIOS:

Demetrius is a mid-level drug runner who operates in some of Hackney’s most deprived community housing projects.

Recently released from prison on charges related to theft and violent disorder, it seems Demetrius has learnt very little from his latest run-ins with the law.

Renown for his ruthless demeanor and urgency surrounding money, he persuades short-term love interest Carly to distribute substantial amounts of cocaine on the Gambier Housing Estate.

Thrown in at the deep end, Carly is summoned to long days and long nights distributing illegal substances to keep her head above water.

Following a successful trial, Demetrius increases Carly’s workload.

The mood intensifies when Andre - Carly’s best friend - voices his displeasure about her day-to-day activities. His attempts are in vain as an argument erupts that will have serious repercussions for both parties.

Things go from bad to worse when Carly visits Demetrius and delivers news that she has lost a substantial amount of drugs.

Following a devastating sequence of events, Carly turns to alcohol in her moment of need.

Still disillusioned by the breakdown of her and best friend Andre’s relationship, she makes contact with him and reveals some horrific details.

With tensions irreversibly raised between Andre and Demetrius, the stage is set for a violent conclusion, which will alter their lives forever.
