Synopsis:

David Mackenzie?s ?Starred Up? stars Jack O?Connell as a troubled and explosively violent teenager transferred to adult prison where he finally meets his match ? a man who also happens to be his father. Eric (Jack O?Connell) is a violent young offender, prematurely thrown into the dark world of an adult prison. As he struggles to assert himself against the prison officers and the other inmates, he has to confront his own father, Nev (Ben Mendelsohn); a man who has spent most of his life in jail. As Eric forges allegiances with other prisoners, he learns that his rage can be overcome and discovers the new rules of survival. But there are forces at work which threaten to destroy him.

The unsociable and brutal nineteen year old Eric Love is transferred from an young offender institution to an adult prison because of his violence. On the arrival, the voluntary therapist Oliver Baumer invites Eric to participate in his group of therapy. However Eric meets his missing father Neville Love that is the henchman of the prison leader Dennis Spencer. Neville tries to control Eric and affects his participation in the therapy. Meanwhile the Deputy Governor Hayes does not believe in Baumer's treatment and gives one chance only to Eric to improve his behavior.

Eric Love (O'Connell) is a 19 year old teenager who is so violent he has been 'Starred Up' (Moved to Adult prison) where he finds his father Neville (Mendelsohn) who Eric hasn't seen since he was 5 (since he was put into care). Neville tries to get Eric to settle down, so Eric gets a chance to go through therapy with Oliver (Friend).
