Leon, a six-month old baby, is placed into the care of Enid & Jim Frazer, after his father commits suicide and his mother, subsequently, abandons him. At the hands of his new carers , he emerges, gradually, into a world of self-loathing- the result of physical and emotional torture. Shortly after his fourteenth birthday, on the verge of being psychologically destroyed, he decides to run - and run he does - into the unknown. His meeting with Jamie, a seemingly caring and protective role-model, throws him into a life of new, hitherto, unimaginable horrors, of a type that very few will ever experience - or even fully comprehend. Join Leon on the emotionally traumatic journey of a child struggling to survive a life of beatings and rape in a desperate attempt to find somebody - anybody - who will love and care for him.
