Shifty (2008): Cast, Box Office & Plot

Four years have passed since Chris, Daniel Mays left his hometown behind to chase a steadier, more responsible life—one that includes a mortgage, a solid job, and a schedule that keeps him on track. He returns for what looks like a simple night out to attend a party, but his real motive is to reconnect with his old friend Shifty, Riz Ahmed, the man he once knew best and left behind. The reunion is punctuated by warmth and awkwardness, as Chris navigates the emotional terrain of a friendship that has been strained by distance and time. The tone remains measured, yet the undercurrents are clear: the past isn’t ready to stay buried, and the present is about to collide with it in unexpected ways.
