This independent film is based on the true story of an underground U.K. graffiti artist known only as "Banksy." Beginning in the downtrodden streets of London, the story begins with a young Banksy riding his skateboard in the late evening when all of the sudden he comes across a can of spray paint. Curious about the content, he picks up and takes it home where he proceeds to experiment on scraps of cardboard in his parents' garage.

Before long, he finds himself exploring beyond London into new cities, new alleyways and new buildings in order to make his mark on the graffiti world.
