Images of stained glass windows in a gothic church provide a grim backdrop for KENDRICK's anxious rap on 'Collect Calls'.
A tense atmosphere and pervading sense of danger permeates the High5Collective video, as hooded youths get mixed up in drug dealing and make desperate calls from phone booths.
The lyrics juxtapose the redemptive power of prayer and religion with a downward spiral towards perpetual crime and poverty.
An older narrator insists the troubled protagonists "need water - holy water", before the drama unfolds in a series of disjointed and desperate events.
