Check out the synopsis and trailer below...

"SYNOPSIS - Out on parole after 8 years inside, Bill Hayward (Charlie Creed-Miles) returns home to find his now 11 and 15-year old sons abandoned by their mother and fending for themselves. Unwilling to play Dad, his arrival brings them to the attention of social services. With the danger of being put into care looming, Dean (Will Poulter) forces his Dad to stay by threatening to grass him up for dealing. Dean soon connects with Jimmy (Sammy Williams) and through this new bond starts to realize what he's been missing. He has a family and a place in the world, but when Jimmy gets into trouble with Bill's old cohorts, he quickly has to decide what kind of Dad he wants to be. A good one, or a free one."


Wild Bill is set for release on March 30th. For more info, visit the official Facebook page here.
