Synopsis:

Bullet Boy is a story of two brothers - 12-year-old Curtis and 18-year-old Ricky. Fresh out of youth custody, Ricky (Ashley Walters) is trying to stay on the straight and narrow, but on returning home finds himself caught in a street clash. What begins as a minor confrontation quickly escalates into a series of retaliations that spiral out of control with devastating consequences. As Ricky sacrifices family and a new start in the name of loyalty, it seems only a matter of time before naïve Curtis (Luke Fraser) - in thrall to the allure of his older brother - will be drawn into the cycle of violence. All it takes is one person with courage to break a fatal chain of events. Extras: Behind the shots. The Auditions 2 x theatrical trailers

Ricky comes to the rescue of a friend during a street clash with a rival gang. He soon finds that his efforts to go straight, after spending time in a young offender's institution, are tested to the full when the gang situation escalates.
