When Neef was twelve, her mother moved them out of Leeds and into her boyfriend's flat miles away. Resentful and unwelcome in their small Yorkshire town, Neef found solace in Danny, only a year older and an outsider himself. As they grew older, they clung to an imagined future together, far away from the substance abuse, poverty and racism that held them and their families hostage. 

Fifteen years later, Danny's father tracks her down in London in search of his missing son. Forced to confront the decisions she made and the person she became, Neef is faced with the question that's troubled her all these years: can she ever move on from her first love?
