Synopsis

Sherry (Ellen Page), a young runaway meets the radical street collective SPARK - Street People Armed with Radical Knowledge - while she is living on the streets of Europe. She travels through the continent in the SPARK van, recruiting members from street gangs and disenfranchised youth at raves and town squares and experiencing the group's giddy thrills as well as its punishing manipulations.

Searching for a place to belong where she can still be herself, Sherry thinks she has found this in SPARK, but when her mother Rose (Natasha Wightman) comes to find her, Sherry discovers that she must pay a heavy personal price for rebellion.

Alison Murray combines drama, suspense and choreographed movement in an intense, stylish and provocative look at youth culture, the struggles of parenthood, and the dark side of nonconformity.
