Twelve year-old Romeo and friend Gavin live next door to each other. They are best mates with a shared sense of humour that helps them to survive in a landscape of comic losers and broken dreams. But their friendship is put to the test by a chance encounter.

After a stranger saves them from being beaten up, the boys are only too happy to help their new hero and pal in his quest to date Romeo's sister. Little do they realise that they are being drawn into a dangerous obsession, violence and desperation, a world that threatens to tear the two friends apart.

From acclaimed director Shane Meadows, A Room for Romeo Brass is a contemporary coming-of-age story that is as funny as it is frightening.
