In a youth reform school in England during the 1970s, a group of lost teenagers navigates a world of violence and despair. The story follows a new inmate who arrives at the center hopeful for reform, but quickly realizes that the system is designed to crush any semblance of humanity. As he interacts with other residents, who are as young as they are brutal, the atmosphere becomes intense and charged with tension.
The protagonist soon finds himself caught in a struggle for survival, both physical and emotional, facing corruption from the guards and the internal hierarchies of the group. Amid fights, abuse, and a struggle for power, he forms a friendship with a fellow inmate who shares his yearning for freedom. However, the grim environment they are trapped in constantly threatens to shatter any hope of redemption.
Relationships become increasingly complicated and dangerous, leading to brutal decisions and, at times, desperate acts that test the loyalty and morals of the young individuals. As resistance intensifies, dilemmas arise regarding the nature of good and evil, and how these choices can define a person. With a raw and realistic approach, the narrative provides a striking portrait of lost innocence and the struggle for dignity in a world that seems to have forgotten it.
