It is 1984, and the UK is experiencing a moment of great significance: the miners' strike. In mining communities throughout the country, passions run high as the confrontation between the Government and the miners is notched up. In the affected communities, there is real hardship as the families of striking miners go without. In slow motion, an old way of life is brought to an end.

In Edinburgh, in a large flat overlooking the Meadows, six students are facing the end of an academic year, preparing to go their separate ways in a changing world.

Over three years, they drift apart through the twists and turns of life, before meeting up for a reunion in 1987, for what may well betheir last evening together. It becomes clear to all that sometimes you have to let go of the past. You take away its lessons, but you let the rest go.
