Northern Monkeys

<p>The gritty story of working-class lads in Bradford, at the heart of <em>Northern Monkeys</em> is The Ointment — a football firm built on pride and reputation. But behind the matchday clashes are deeper struggles: addiction, poverty, broken homes, love, revenge, and the fight to stay above water. As the firm rises, the police close in, determined to bring them down.</p><p>Some lads are just trying to escape their mundane lives. Others are chasing power and a reputation. And some just want a few beers, a laugh with their mates, and a bit of casual violence.</p><p>But what happens on the streets is only half the story.</p><p>Northern Monkeys goes beyond the terraces — deep into the lives, relationships and choices that shape these men when the crowds are gone, and the doors are shut.</p><p><em>A brutal, honest look at life on the edge, when the lines between good and bad start to blur — and then start to cross.</em></p>
