Set against the backdrop of the 2011 British summer riots, Michael Caton-Jones' URBAN HYMN is a redemptive coming-of-age story following wayward teen, Jamie (Letitia Wright). Encouraged by inspiring and unconventional care worker Kate (Shirley Henderson) to use singing as a release from her troubled life, Jamie's loyalties soon become torn between Kate and her possessive and volatile best friend, Leanne (Isabella Laughland).
