A well-meaning but not always ­convincing attempt to hoodie-ise the gay coming-of-age drama. Baseball-capped, gold-chain-adorned teenager Cal (Wayne Virgo) looks like your typical happy-slapping, powder-inhaling gang ­member, but conceals his same-sex yearnings behind an aggressive facade. In a convoluted narrative, Cal finds love in the arms of a French student being taught by one of Cal's former ­encounters; Cal's secrets are eventually flushed out by the poisonous Nessa ­(Alice Payne), the demonic leader of their posse. First-time director Simon Pearce keeps things simple and direct, but can't always disguise his clunking plot shifts, nor acting of distinctly ­variable quality. The refreshing lack of cynicism, however, shores it all up.
