Based on the story of Jepthah in the Bible's Book of Judges, Consequences tells how Jeff - a gang leader - risks and loses his daughter's life, when he attempts a deal with God, in order to overthrow the ammon gang in a quarrel over territory. the Bible setting is transferred to any run down urban environment and the characters play themselves as quarreling children and fighting grown-ups in a mix of comedy and Drama which raises questions about growing up, independence, sacrifice and forgiveness.
