In Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's 1983 United Kingdom, and against the backdrop of rampant unemployment and a hot July in the port town of Grimsby, orphaned twelve-year-old schoolboy, Shaun, finds himself constantly picked on for his horrible fashion crimes. But, in the aftermath of the Falklands War, Shaun is lonelier than ever, and as if that weren't enough, after a typical day of humiliation in school, the lad has an encounter with danger in an underpass. Instead, Shaun strikes up an unexpected friendship with the cheerful and sympathetic skinhead, Woody, and his gang, and just like that, after giving him an extreme makeover, wide-eyed Shaun becomes one of the boys. Then, ferocious Combo, a dangerous National Front warrior fresh out of prison, arrives, and with him, fear, hate, and racism. But, violence always begets violence, and sometimes, tomorrow seems so far away. Is this England?
