Jules (Nathan Stewart-Jarrett) is a popular drag artist whose life changes for the worse following a violent homophobic assault upon him by Preston (George Mackay) and his fanatically macho mates. Then one day he sees Preston in a gay sauna and sets out on a journey of revenge.

This is actually quite a hard watch with aggressive sex and brutal homophobic attitudes front and centre throughout such that you can cut the atmosphere with a knife. The performances, particularly Mackay are impressive and the tension is palpable with so many unpleasant characters - will Jules expose Preston as gay, will he get found out by Preston or his mates or will either of them change. This ultimately is an impressive, tough and tense piece of work and not, as I said, an easy watch.
