summer

As kids, Shaun and Daz are inseparable, skipping school, racing bikes, knocking about down
by the lake with Katy, Shaun’s first love. Full of life, Shaun runs up against an education
system that cannot contain him. He is squeezed and eventually spat out, taking Daz down
with him as he self‐destructs.

Twenty years later, Daz is in a wheelchair and has eight weeks to live. Shaun is left to reflect
on one gilded summer of love, sex and loyalty that marked the end of his innocence. His
memories lead him to track down Katy, in a bid for personal redemption. This is a story of
bright lives unfulfilled, of hopes that are snuffed out and then, finally, rekindled.
