The official synopsis reads:
Two teenage boys from very different London backgrounds embark on a road trip North together. NATHAN (Jamie Flatters) is running away from his foster home in search of his sister who he thinks lives in Scotland, while SAM (Keenan Munn-Francis) is heading to the North-East of England to see his mum. After a chance encounter, SAM agrees to give NATHAN a ride North in his mum’s car and as their impromptu adventure together takes an unexpected turn, the boys begin to open up and learn they have far more in common than they first thought.
