Synopsis

”Who'd want to join in building a fucking playground.”

It's 1979, rubbish is on the streets of Bristol, and it's tricky being Fiz.

She's thirteen, she's got no money, her sister's pregnant and her mum thinks she's a waste of space...

Rick remembers what it's like to be a teenager.

So he thinks it won't take much to get a bunch of kids to help him build a playground out of junk.

He's wrong.

It takes everything he's got.

But when it's finished, it's going to be something.

It's going to be everything...
