I am the product of a hollow generation. I live for adrenaline. I live for me. In Birkenhead, in 1979, the Pack, a violent gang of fans with Stanley knives, follows their team to away matches - gaining the reputation of the toughest group in the Third Division. For young working-class people, with no way out, their life revolves around fashion, music, and anarchy.
