Summary: A group of lads escape from Glasgow in search of freedom and adventure, which changes their lives.
New Summary:
Detail: A report of a murder triggers the re-tracing of a trip from Glasgow to London by a group of friends 50 years earlier. With little money and poor health the old guys embark on a trip not dissimilar to the one they took 50 years earlier to get away from trouble at school and home. The two trips from Glasgow to London, spaced by half a century, are told in parallel. Both journeys are adventure in themselves and the two accounts complement each other as they build the characters and their struggles. A gripping story with emotional swings.
