PLOT

Jay has big dreams; but his ambitions are crippled by his allegiance to both his crew and Hackney crime boss Beverley (Sharon Duncan-Brewster).

Jay sets about laying the foundations for his own organized crime ring with the help of Mustafa (Adam Deacon).

Things are going well until Beverley discovers his disloyalty, and an ill-fated robbery in North London and a trip to Jamaica tears the crew apart.

All the while, their actions are being monitored by an undercover Met Police officer Gunz (Dylan Duffus), who has been deployed to integrate himself into the crew.

Before the T.I.C and the Clappers crews were formed, the members worked for a ruthless Yardie boss, Beverly. One of the boys, Jay has ambitions to set up on his own.

He has no money, his car keeps getting towed away, every move he makes to get money and lift himself out of the everyday struggle is unsuccessful.

Inspired by his high-flying girlfriend, Selene, he sets about laying the foundations for his own organized crime ring. Things are going seemingly well until he is arrested and Beverley discovers his hidden ambition.

With the same grit, humour and action sequences as its’ predecessor, ‘THE COME UP’ promises to follow ‘THE INTENT’ in becoming an instant cult classic but with international reach. Released in association with Island Records.
