Energetic English rockers The Arctic Monkeys come together to tell the tale of a teenage drug-addict suffering in the industrial estate in a short film set to their song "Scummy Man". Nina (Lauren Socha) lives near the gas tower, and can't seem to wiggle out of the grip of ill-tempered smack-slinger George (Stephen Graham). Though an outwardly kindly offer made to Nina by a magician and a taxi driver offers a glimmer of hope amidst the rusting urban decay, the men are driven by dark ulterior motives that aren't at all in Nina's best interest. Fortunately for the strong-willed street girl, she knows when she's being swindled and she's more than willing to fight back. A bonus short film, Just Another Day tells Nina's tale from an entirely different perspective, and the original promotional video for the track "When the Sun Goes Down" rounds out this release.
