Cultural Menace
Synopsis
On the Sumka Estate we find the Morte gang whose hold on the local drugs trade has been challenged by an informant, leading to the police seizing £27,000 worth of drugs. Gang leader and big-time drugs lord Benny is angered by this distraction and takes his revenge.
Meanwhile on the estate, Cemal tries to instil his cultural values on his family, but he is living in a world that places too much pressure on his beliefs.
Caught up in this turmoil of hate, revenge and cultural conflict we meet two star-crossed lovers, Cemal's daughter Jeylan and Benny's brother Ronnie. The end seems sealed from the moment they meet in a world where hate prevails and love should stay.
