A working-class sports drama about a young man's struggle to escape the constraints of his gritty northern English town through football, anchored by warmth and hope despite the weight of family conflict and social limitation.

Jimmy Muir comes from a typical gritty, northern town where there are only two options: working down the pit or in a factory. But Jimmy has other ideas — he dreams of becoming a professional footballer. Confronted by a bitter and unsupportive father, hard-drinking friends and a lifetime of bad habits...has Jimmy the will to achieve his ultimate goal?
