What's the plot of Spinners

The narrative begins with the introduction of Ethan (Cantona James), a 17-year-old teenager, who is coerced into serving as a driver for a local gang. However, his disgust with the local gang’s brutality and penchant for violence fuels a burning desire inside him to break free.

In a twist of fate, Ethan discovers an unexpected outlet in extreme motorsports, particularly the adrenaline-fuelled world of spinning. This high-octane pursuit ignites a spark within him, offering a glimmer of hope for a future beyond the gang’s suffocating grasp.

But just when he begins to envision a life outside the gang's shadow, the fragile threads of his escape are threatened by the looming spectre of an all-out gang war. As tension escalates, Ethan finds himself hurtling towards a dangerous crossroads, where the promise of freedom collides with the harsh realities of his gang-torn existence.

Cantona James’ experience working in Spinners

Back in 2023, lead actor Cantona James, who played Ethan shared several memorable moments while shooting for the Spinners series. He shared that he loved the idea about the series of telling so many individual stories of young boys, their fight for survival, the realities of getting thrashed into violent crimes. According to Cantona, the series was much needed. “Unfortunately, as we all have come to learn, it is much easier to join a gang than it is to leave one”, James shared.
