ParkLife Synopsis                                                              Kieran Drury

Sam and Max are two teenagers living together in a squat. With no job, no grades and no future they consider any means justifiable to improve their standard of living. Max begins to pick up a heroin habit due to the emotional stress put on him by his lifestyle. The two begin to deal drugs on their estate for a notorious gangster to elevate their positions on the estate and their lives. Max’s addiction begins to spiral out of control, while simultaneously Sam is steadily climbing up the gang hierarchy. Max then begins to steal from the drugs he is being supplied with to fuel his own habit. Sam in his new position of power in the gang must punish Max for his disrespect or else the two teenagers both lose everything they have gained so far. Rather than punish Max, Sam instead gives him the money to pay back the crime lord. However at the meeting to pay the money back Max is killed regardless of his repayment. In a complex plot for revenge Sam then joins the crime lord’s inner circle as his right hand man and waits for an opportunity for revenge. On the eve of a big gang war with two rival gangs, Sam kills the crime lord to avenge his fallen friend and blames it on the other gangs. Sam is now the man at the top, he has everything he ever wanted, but he laments the loss of Sam and wonders if this life is preferable to the one he used to have.
