In the 80's Phil's father moves the family from an inner-city slum to build a bright new life in Stevenage. But it's now the early 90's and the dream has crumbled. After leaving school Phil (John Simm) and his friends find themselves in the bewildering world of unemployment, violence and drug abuse. Ted (Andrew Lincoln) disappears, Steve (Richard Hanson) tries to come to conform to his parents' expectations and Matt (Nathan Valente) becomes engaged. Feeling alienated from his friends and dissatisfied with his existence, Phil becomes involved with Steve's brother Robert (Marc Warren), a dangerously incompetent villain who is ever planning the 'big job'. Now trapped between two world – the criminal and the banal, it is the arrival of his cousin Shona (Emer McCourt) that acts as the catalyst for Phil to expand his horizons. But on that horizon are momentous decisions…
