Dean is suffering the pains of adolescence at a rough Kingston high school. When his class gets a weekend assignment to read Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet, Dean envisages himself as Romeo and feisty student Erica, the object of his unrequited love, as rebel Juliet.

The film follows warring political factions in 1970s Jamaica as they enlist the support of gangs to enforce their policies, and advance their political agenda. It is a fictionalized dramatization of real historical events, specifically, the Green Bay Massacre, where the government finally tracked down these gangs and had systematically wiped out.
