10 years after photojournalist Leo Regan shot a series of photographs of a gang of neo-Nazis, he returns to interview former gang-members Colin, Neil and Nick, now in their thirties, to investigate how their lives have changed.

Colin returns home from prison to live with girlfriend Karla and his five children. Colin expresses his disappointment with the neo-Nazi gang that had promised him a 'Fourth Reich' but did not deliver. Neil, the leader of the gang, has moved and made a new life for himself. Nick talks about how, during his two-year prison sentence for a racist attack, he found no support from the neo-Nazi organisation. None of the three has yet fully abandoned his racist ideology.

Colin is cooking a barbeque for his family, including Terry, his black brother-in-law, for whom he expresses indifference. Later that night, Colin is arrested for vandalising the house in a fit of anger. Karla expresses her fears of a violent return and threatens to divorce him; Colin nevertheless returns home.

Neil misses the comradeship of the gang but has found a passion for clubbing, which he sees as an outlet for his aggression. Nick has built a friendship with Jamie, a black man. In an attempt to be honest about his past, he shows Jamie some of Leo's photographs of the gang. Jamie is nevertheless supportive. The Soho pub bombing places the far right under the spotlight. Neil respects the bomber for having the courage of his convictions, while his girlfriend Charlene expresses doubt that Neil can control his violence. Four weeks later, Charlene has moved out of Neil's house due to his aggressive behaviour.

Karla reveals that Colin lived with a woman of mixed-race for two months. Later Leo questions Colin about the woman. Colin turns silent, removes his microphone and walks off. In an attempt to deal with his violence, Neil begins an anger management course.

Colin talks about his ex-girlfriend of mixed-race. He describes their relationship as having been the 'biggest taboo' and believes the consequences would have been dire if he were to have had a child with her. Later Leo confronts Colin about his true identity. Behind the ideology, the bravura and the tattoos, Colin concedes that there is nothing, and admits that he has never known another way of life.
