Set during a long, hot summer on the Thamesmead Estate in Southeast London, three teenagers edge towards adulthood.

In the docklands of East London stands the Empire State, a nightclub full of magic and mystery. Designed like an ocean liner, it's become a battle ground where anything can happen. In the midst of the action, a young boy stows aboard to search for his friend who has disappeared in the entrails of the club.
