STORY
Leonard Collins (Callum Robertson) is a young man from a poor background who carries too too many responsibilities on his shoulders.
He gets the chance to change his life forever when one of the top universities offers him a scholarship.
In the meantime, Wilfred Woodham (Jack Reynolds), his lifelong best friend, starts being brutally attacked and harassed by local thug Jeffery Bullock (Leo Forster).
Sensing this to only get worse, and when no one else seems to notice, Leonard realises he’ll have to make a choice: stay behind to help his friend, or leave everything behind to achieve his dream.
