Wild Bill (2011)
Bill is paroled after serving an eight year prison sentence for drug related offenses. Returning to his home in East London Bill finds his two sons, 15-year-old Dean and 11-year-old Jimmy abandoned by their mother, Dean having dropped out of school to work and take care of Jimmy on his own. Dean makes it clear to Bill that he is not welcome in either his or Jimmy’s lives. Bill’s former criminal associates Dickie and Terry offer Bill some drug dealing. Bill is on license and refuses, not wanting to return to prison. Bill instead intends to go to Scotland and work on the oil rigs. During a parole meeting Bill finds out that his sons, under aged and without a legal guardian will be surrendered to foster care. Reluctant to be a father to Dean and Jimmy, Bill still insists on going to Scotland; Dean reveals that he has confiscated his drugs and threatens to tell the police if Bill doesn’t remain.
Despite the number of challenges ahead of him, such as finding suitable work as well as Jimmy’s delinquent behaviour, Bill is able to find legal work and bond with Jimmy. Drug lord Glen who Bill went to prison for, is unnerved by Bill’s insistence on going straight and being in his territory – believing his behaviour will upset his business arrangements. Jimmy’s delinquency and tendency to abscond from school to be a drug mule for Pill, also an employee of Glen’s brother Terry, threatens to undo Bill’s progress. One evening, Jimmy is nearly caught and arrested for possessing a large amount of cocaine. Jimmy disposes of the drugs to avoid arrest but this puts him in a bad position with Terry.
