Plot

Malachy is a straight-A teenager working at the Titanic Leisureplex, a sports training complex owned and run by Dave. His best friend is Luke, a drug dealer living with his drug-addicted father. While at work, Malachy catches sight of Dave having sex with a young female employee of Titanic Leisureplex, Donna. The two boys find themselves entranced by Michelle, a beautiful and charismatic teen who moved from London to live with her father, Dave.

Luke and Malachy attempt to win Michelle's affections by outdoing each other on a wild ride of sex, drugs, vandalism, shoplifting, and fighting. However, all three teens find that they are in over their heads when they throw a party in the Titanic Leisureplex, which turns disastrous when Dave walks in to find his place trashed. [7]
