The film is about a young man's attempts to move away from a life of violent crime, with the help of a wholesome country girl who comes to stay with his friend in the city, only to find himself the target of retaliation.

They make a living out of armed robberies with the help of eye candy Davina (Anna Nightingale) to seduce and lure drunken, unsuspecting rich City men in clubs, go back with them to their expensive flats, then Tyson and his crew move in, beat them up and steal everything.

For Tyson it is not about living the lifestyle but about supporting his 15-year-old sister, Nyla (Letitia Wright), through school and paying off the gambling debts his alcoholic mum landed them in when she abandoned them.

He equally wants to provide for Nyla and help her make something of herself, but smart as she is, she has started running with the wrong crowd who seem hell bent on teaching immigrant Victor (Jordy Meya) a lesson.

However Davina disapproves of Tia's positive influence on Tyson and is jealous of their blossoming romance, and begins to plan a terrible revenge designed to also win him back from her.

He decides to take part in one final job to secure his future, which promises a big payoff, Tyson prepares to take his biggest gamble yet and has to fight not to be drawn back into the cycle of violence.

"[19] David Calhoun of Time Out thought the film was "solidly made, but once you get past the attempts at realism – the banter, the backstories, the music, the clothes – it's a desperately corny yarn.

But the ending raises its game..."[21] Paul Bradshaw of Total Film rating it 3/5 said, "Anuva barrel of 'hood clichés it might be, but the sharp cast and snappy script (by Chin and co-star Michael Maris) make it fresher and funnier than it sounds.
