Springtime, 1996. Jed's fled the bright lights of Paisley for a contract in Sheffield building roofs. He's got his own flat, his girlfriend's six foot one, he's twenty years old and life is looking up. But the night before his sister's wedding, Jed's oldest pal Skarloey pays an unexpected visit.
Why's he made the trip? Especially when they're due on the seven thirty-eight back to Glasgow in the morning. Two more visitors drop by. Chubby's convinced Bruno's going to beat Mike Tyson. Zoe's grandma lies dying in a hospice. There are high hopes for the future and yearnings for the past. Something is coming to an end. But will friendship conquer all?
'Whether on stage or on screen this company have consistently astonished with their new ways of presenting drama'. THE GUARDIAN
