Runaway

FIVE DREAMS OF FAME. FIVE DECADES OF FEAR.

Glasgow, 1965. Jack Mackay dares not imagine a life of predictability. The headstrong seventeen-year-old has one thing on his mind - London - and successfully convinces his four friends and fellow band-mates to join him in abandoning their homes to pursue a goal of musical stardom.

Glasgow, 2015. Jack Mackay dares not look back on a life of failure and mediocrity. The heavy-hearted sixty-seven-year-old is still haunted by the cruel fate that befell him and his friends some fifty years before.

London, 2015. A man lies dead in a bedsit. His killer looks on, remorseless. What started with five teenagers five decades before will now be finished.
