It's Birmingham, England in 1986 and Billy Zero has just walked out
the hospital after trying to kill himself at the age of
twenty-three. Amid ceaseless drinking in seedy nightclubs,
backstreet bars, drug-fuelled parties and long, amphetamine charged
nights punctured by his sense of demented loneliness, Billy Zero is
sifting through the pieces of his broken life, compulsively
searching for love and cheap thrills in an effort to assuage his
feelings of alienation. With its frenetic and chopped-up narrative,
'Black Cradle' backtracks the grotesque personal life of Billy and
his freakshow of bored and bewildered friends - fusing together the
grim omens of his rootless childhood and the brutal events leading
up to his suicide attempt.
