The FilmThis dramatic and poignant story concerns teenager Jay and the impact alcohol has made on his life. His mother regularly makes a laughing stock of him getting drunk in the local pub. The only escape route he sees for himself is to join the army like his absent father, a dream he shares with Matthew, a boy from his block who craves acceptance from Jay's gang. He comes home one night to find his mother dancing in the arms of a stranger. A bitter row ensues in which his mum reveals a startling truth about the father he idolises. In a state of distress Jay runs out and encounters a group of his friends including Matthew, who touchingly reminds him of their shared ambition. They all spend the night by the canal downing vodka and alcopops, until, in an agonisingly realistic sequence, Jay, Matthew and friends are confronted with the perils of drinking CALL TO ORDER YOUR COPY0151 707 9700
