A new take on the coming-of-age story, set against the backdrop of bohemian London. <br /> Drifting through his gap year with its internships and travel plans, Jack (Will Poulter) has always suspected there was more to life than this. A chance encounter with the beautiful and ethereal Evelyn (Alma Jodorowsky) swerves his life radically off course. She is like no one he's ever met before. He quickly becomes caught up in a whirlwind of all-day parties and wild nights in London's hidden dives with Evelyn and her charismatic friends. <br /> Giving up everything to follow Evelyn and her hedonistic lifestyle, it takes Jack a while to realise what he's leaving behind, that love isn't a game you want to lose, and that his new 'friends' might not be the kindred spirits he first thought they were.<br /> Edinburgh International Film Festival 2016 - World premiere
