This is a show about the lives of Singaporean boys, mostly from broken families and how they go astray. They end up in gangs, forming some sort of "brotherhood". It's fantastic how well they managed to portray a typical day of a Singaporean gangster, their mischief and their "violent tendencies". It may seem like fiction but I do know of incidents such as these that actually go on in Singapore that most people do not see. Matter of fact, I do know some people who are exactly like the characters you will be seeing in the show. Show starts off with Vynn and Melvin, 2 good friends who had just fallen out with Shaun, who had gone on to join another gang. Show moves on to the life of Shaun and his posse, getting into gang fights, drinking, clubbing, smoking and taking drugs. Shaun and his new friend Erick are pretty much inseparable, but shows no sign of homosexual tendencies. I can account for this from the things they mentioned throughout the show, always speaking about brotherhood and loyalty. They are extremely good and close friends, but are not emotionally involved in a homosexual manner. The show has occasional graphic scenes, like the piercings, and the drug smuggling. Viewers be warned.
