London, 1958. Young Colin falls in love with model Suzette, who prefers the old, wealthy Henley. Henley and his colleague Vendice Partners, an unscrupulous advertising executive, plan a luxury real estate project and deliberately stir up racial unrest. A declaration of longing and love by the then almost 30-year-old Julien Temple to the only ‘true’ teenage subculture, packed into a stylish and prominently wrapped socio-musical mishmash.
