When Jamie's mother dies, he is taken in by his neighbour, Martha. Small for his age, he is picked on by a local gang so joins the boxing club run by the local Bobby and learns to defend himself. Jamie's older brother, Archie, arrives back on the scene and things seem to look up, but when a violent altercation ends in tragedy, Jamie runs away again and meets a homeless girl called Cassie. She shows him the decaying slum that's she has been calling home and he vows to look after her, even if that means remaining on the streets himself. Jamie and Cassie desperately need love and a safe place to live. There are kind hearts who want to help, but sometimes kindness isn't enough and both Jamie and Cassie's search for belonging will be filled with heartbreak. Will there be a light at the end of the tunnel for them?
