Un aspirante giornalista americano di nome Matt, espulso ingiustamente da Harvard, decide di voltare pagina raggiungendo la sorella a Londra. Appena sbarcato nel vecchio continente, Matt si imbatterà nel proprio cugino acquisito, fratello del cognato, leader della frangia più violenta degli ultrà del West Ham United, football club londinese. Il giovane si ritroverà così catapultato in una guerra tra fazioni, vero e proprio motivo di vita per gli hooligans; accolto nella "famiglia", ne sposerà la filosofia e non tarderà a rivestire un ruolo di rilievo tra i ranghi del gruppo.
