Marching Powder is set in the world of the 2004 cult classic movie The Football Factory, and be warned there's pretty strong language used throughout. The story follows Jack Jones as he indulges in drug-taking and football-related violence on a regular basis. He feels increasingly irrelevant in today’s society and turns to antisocial behavior to make his mark on the world. Then, Jack is arrested after some outrageous match-day exploits and is told he has six weeks to either fix up or face jail. Jack tries to get his life back on track while juggling his marriage, son, mates, a father-in-law who wants to kill him and his unhinged brother-in-law. But soon his world begins to spiral out of control. Can he overcome his inner demons or is he destined to go to prison?
