This movie is  based on the award winning novel of the same name by Jonathan Trigell,

The story is about Jack (Andrew Garfield) that is released from prison at the age of 24.  He have been institutionalized for most of his life after he and another boy murdered a child, when they were themselves children.

The film follows Jack’s difficult attempts to readjust to the world outside of confinement and restart a life which never really got going. Under the fatherly mentor- ship of Terry (Peter Mullan) his parole contact and social worker, he experiences a coming of age, which would normally have happened years ago.

But forces from the past are constantly upon him, as we learn more about the events leading up to the crime which has ruined so many lives, there is an increasing sense of suspense, intrigue and ultimately doom: the tabloid press and Terry’s real son are not going to let things lie.
