Description
It's May 1984 and the miners' strike is in full swing. Jarrod Brook returns to Brightlingsea, Essex, after being expelled from school, only to find that his mum has given his bedroom to a striking miner. Over the long summer ahead, Jarrod finds himself drawn into petty crime alongside his best mate Colin, while trying to impress Verity, an outspoken young feminist.
A drunken night out takes a turn for the worse, testing the limits of friendship and landing Jarrod in a precarious situation. As the summer unfolds, this innocent young man must confront the consequences of his actions and learn valuable lessons about loyalty, friendship, and growing up.
