An uncompromising rites-of-passage drama set against the backdrop of a typical English "New Town", set in the early Nineties and filmed in the new town of Stevenage, Hertfordshire. Schoolleaver Phil (Simm) - who moved with his father from an inner-city slum to what he was told would be a brighter future in Stevenage - finds himself caught up in a world of unemployment, violence, alcoholism and drug abuse in Nineties Britain.
