Synopsis

Two kids, Zippo and Nelly, who live a feral like lifestyle on the depleted coastline of North East England, find a beaten up dog, who they take back home and nurse back to health. Zippo has regular run ins with the local cops, teachers and town's underbelly who are forever hassling the kids and in particular their alcoholic and hopeless father, Les. The kids would like to keep the dog, whom they name "Carlos" as a pet. However, when they find out that he has escaped the despicable world of dog fighting the kids have a fight on their hands to save him being dragged back into a brutal and inhumane world once again. Not only do the cops try to take the dog away from Zippo and Nelly but the local thugs decide that Carlos could be a source of profit and status and they do a deal with Les that leads to an inevitable and dramatic confrontation.
