The film uses actual CCTV footage of the 2011 England riots to depict the attacks on a shop, a hair salon, and a record store. The motives of the looters are reduced to greed and vandalism, while characters such as an elderly man, hairdressers, and a middle-class couple provide a contrast to the chaos. The police struggle to respond to the violence, and the film ends with statistics on the cost of the riots and their impact on the victims.
