Headhunters 

Headhunters is the story of five friends. Carter USM is a live wire who lives on the edge; Mango can’t stop thinking; Harry is a beer-lover and dreamer; Balti his drinking partner, out of work and hoping for a fresh start; while Will is the quiet romantic, a voice of reason as the lives of the others become increasingly chaotic. It is also a story of London, rooted in the streets, workplaces, pubs and music – but a parallel society exists where the planet’s wealthy can buy and sell whatever they like. Mixing humour and longing, Headhunters is brutal, honest and poetic.
