BABY BOY is an adrenaline fuelled dark drama with a social realist streak, that explores addiction, sexuality and masculinity against the backdrop of modern day London.

Nicky (George Russo) is a London Black Cab driver and from the outside his life looks perfect; a nice home in the suburbs, a glamorous wife and two healthy children. But he is hiding a terrible secret, a debilitating addiction to crack cocaine fuelled by his repressed sexuality.

Driving his cab through the London streets is a lonely occupation, haunted with troubled thoughts he succumbs to his desires and scores. Once started, he can’t stop smoking, setting off a cycle of events that soon spirals out of control and unleashes his alter ego; a reckless addict who is known in the seedy east end drug world as ‘Skinny Nicky’.

On the streets he picks up Baby Boy (Dior Clarke), a beautiful young queer man who enjoys the party life, Nicky is quickly besotted and declares his love. The pair descend into a whirlwind of hedonism, finally ending up in a crackhouse which erupts in an act of extreme violence instigated by drug fuelled paranoid delusions. As Nicky loses touch with reality, Baby Boy realises he must escape.
