Life deals them very different hands, and as David wanders away from society and his family, Neil proves himself to be as charming and capable a son as anyone could wish for. Neil heads to university with his beloved sweetheart, Donna, and David heads to Borstal, where he receives a very particular type of education.

It is a saga of families and romance, of crime and punishment and, ultimately, of redemption and remembering.
