A young man's attempt to break out of a cycle of violence. When country-girl Tia comes to stay with her cousin in the city, little does she realise that her naivety will disturb the delicate balance of cousin Davina and her group of friends. Living the good life on a career of crime, Davina's friend Tyson struggles to be a parent to his teenage sister Nyla.

Dave is a petty criminal who thrives on drugs and violence in London’s East End. When his actions kill his best friend Tariq he’s propelled into unknown feelings of shame and remorse. He discovers Islam and begins to find peace until his old life of crime comes back to test his new belief. Based on the true story of Martin Askew, who grew up in the East End criminal underworld, Snow in Paradise is a hard-hitting debut from editor-turned-director Andrew Hulme, known for his work on Control, The Imposter, Red Riding: 1974, Lucky Number Slevin & Gangster No.1.
