Set in the 1970s in Kingston, Jamaica and the 1980s in Hackney, London, Yardie follows the life of a young Jamaican man named D, portrayed by Aml Ameen. D has never fully recovered from witnessing the murder of his older brother Jerry Dread during his childhood. Throughout the film, D is mentored by King Fox, a music producer and Kingston Don played by Sheldon Shepherd.
King Fox sends D to London, where he reunites with his childhood sweetheart Yvonne, played by Shantol Jackson, and meets his daughter for the first time since she was a baby. D also joins a soundclash crew called High Noon, further immersing himself in the music scene. However, his past catches up with him when he encounters the man responsible for his brother's murder a decade earlier.
