Growing up in one of Manchester’s roughest council estates Mark (Macca) McNeil’s life seems already written for him until joining forces with rough boy Todd Brown to form a gang offers him a way out.

He is finally changing his life but then, there is Joanne… She is more than a fling and although they come from the same estate she is heading places. She loves his lavish gifts and the life he is promising her, but she doesn’t want to see what Macca is capable of.

And when the gang leads him down an irreversible path, what will Macca choose, his past or his future?
