Project Detail

Adulthood

Synopsis

After Sam Peel is released from jail for killing Trife, he finds difficulty adjusting to life on the outside. Sam is forced to confront the people he hurt, trying to find out which one is seeking revenge on him.

While trying to cope with the effect his actions had on the people he knew, he finds himself being hunted by a group of young thugs, who seem to be following the same path as Sam had in the past - but who are they and why are they hunting him?

Sam's first day of freedom will be one he never forgets, and as important in his life as the one that lost him his freedom in the first place. Sam is about to go from Kidulthood to Adulthood, if he survives.
