Synopsis
In the '80s Phil's father up-and-moved the family from an inner-city slum to Stevenage, in the hope of a brighter future. Now it's the early '90s and that dream has crumbled. Phil (Simm) and his friends have left school and find themselves falling into a bewildering world of unemployment, violence and drug abuse.
Then, Ted (Andrew Lincoln) disappears, Steve (Richard Hanson) is trying to live up to his parents' expectations with a proper job and loved-up Matt (Nathan Valente) gets engaged, leaving Phil out on a limb. Alienated from his friends and unhappy with his life, Phil gets involved with Steve's wrongun' brother Robert (Marc Warren), a dangerously incompetent villain who is forever planning his one 'big job' that'll change his fortunes.
Now he's trapped between two worlds - the criminal and the banal. When his cousin Shona (McCourt) turns up, it gives Phil the kick up the butt he needs. It's time to make big changes, but on the horizon there's momentous decisions to make...
It's Boston Kickout or bust in this bangin' British thriller that takes you back to the '90s for a rite of passage thrill ride.
