Spoilers ahead
One night in London, Jimmy, a frightened 15-year-old, dashes through a shabby housing estate begging for help as passersby ignore him. He slips into the condemned Tower Block 31, the only floor still inhabited while tenants wait to be rehoused. He bangs on doors just as two masked men, who have been chasing him, close in. The only person who comes to his aid is office worker Becky, but she is beaten, and Jimmy is dragged away. The next morning, Devlin, a detective constable, conducts door-to-door inquiries about the previous night’s murder, after the boy’s body is found. Nobody will speak to him; not even Becky, who claims her injuries are the result of a mugging.
