Three teenage brothers – gang member Bobby, artistically minded Alan and 13-year-old Lex – are growing up with their mother on Glasgow's South Side in 1968. Events which will have consequences for all concerned start to get out of control when Lex accidentally shoots Malky, the leader of the Garaside Tongs street gang, with an air gun.

Production

It was released on 19 screens in the UK on 5 April 1996 and grossed £52,590 in its opening weekend.<ref name=open>Template:Cite magazine</ref> The film received a BBFC Certificate of 15 (intended for audiences aged 15 and over) within the United Kingdom.
