In a bleak, futuristic British society, ex-con Billy (Jude Law) and audacious Jo (Sadie Frost) lead a gang of "ram-raiders" who steal cars, drive them through shop windows and steal whatever booty they can get their hands on before the cops arrive. When a local drug lord (Sean Pertwee) decides the intrepid couple is infringing on his business, he challenges the pair to a bizarre and deadly race.
