About

A taut, gritty tale about two boys who live on a run-down housing estate near a railway line.

Simon and Darren look out for each other—always have done. Especially these last few years, since Darren's dad died and his mum took up with Milo. Since Si's kid brother got so ill.

Since girls, drugs and gangs became a part of life, and messing about on the railway line has turned into more than just playing stupid games.

But sometimes even your best mate can't protect you from what life has in store further down the tracks...
