Heartless

Poster

In East London, Jamie Morgan is a disturbed twenty-five year old photographer who misses his deceased father and has a complex due to his birthmark on the left side of his face and shoulder. In his neighborhood, gangs are more prevalent and there are a series of unresolved brutal murders in the area. Jamie lives a reclusive life with his beloved mother Marion and works in a studio with his brother Ray and his nephew Lee. When Jamie sees the aspirant model Tia taking photos with Ray and Lee, he develops a crush on her. When Jamie visits his father's grave with his mother at the cemetery, they are attacked and Marion is burned to death and Jamie is battered. Then his neighbor and former gang member A.J. is murdered on the streets. Jamie buys a pistol for self-protection and is ready to commit suicide but is summoned by the the Devil AKA Papa B. The Devil suggest that he will remove his birthmark in return for a favor. He sells his soul, and is forced to contribute his own brand of chaos as a condition of keeping his end of the bargain.
