[edit] Plot
After the suicide of one of their inmate friends at a Northern Ireland prison/reform camp, a group of teenage offenders, along with their leader, set off to an island, formerly used as a navy bootcamp, but now serving as a place of reform for young people. They soon find out they are not alone on the island as some members of the group come across a campsite with two teenagers and one woman. The story develops into a tale of betrayal and vengeance.
