Taylor (Rye Lane's David Jonsson) is branded a “wasteman” by society, his family and even in prison. In a world of drugs, parties, gangs and violence – so far, he’s managed to keep out of trouble. However, with the arrival of new cellmate Dee, the chance to make early parole and get his life back are put in jeopardy.

Dee takes a shine to Taylor and helps him reconnect with the son he’s never met, giving Taylor the chance to be a dad. But behind bars nothing comes for free, and with Dee’s ambition to rise up and run the prison as ‘top boy’, he’s not only risking Taylor’s parole, he is also risking their lives.

We'll be welcoming Trainee Clinical Psychologist Megan Drysdale for a post-screening conversation with We Are Here's Regional Cultural Curator Nathan Hardie on the representation of UK prisons and themes of drug and addiction in the film.
