WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Brian (Guthrie) is a young man struggling to cope with severe depression, which is causing him to think suicidal thoughts. As his world seems to get irreversibly bleaker, he finds unexpected solace in kindly care home owner Jeff (McCole) and a flirtation with single mother Sam (Reilly) – but it might not be enough to keep him from going over the edge…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Kevin Guthrie shines in a devastating drama that highlights the growing risk of suicide in young men, in this instance those from Scotland.
