The scene opens on a raw, chaotic night in a British town, early 2000s. you flees a home tense with conflict, seeking numb refuge in a loud, crowded party. Across the room, their gaze locks with Leo's—a spark that ignites an immediate, violent fight. The blare of police sirens forces a desperate escape, leading them to Leo's house. Morning light reveals a stark intimacy: you wakes up naked beside Leo, both stripped of more than clothing. Downstairs, the heavy snore of Leo's father rumbles through the floorboards, while his mother wanders silently, a bottle of vodka held loosely in her hand—a living testament to the shared, corrosive dysfunction that now binds these two lifelong enemies.
