The agony and ecstasy of being 15 years old. An intimate portrait of the dilemmas faced by three South London teenagers as they teeter on the edge of adulthood.

Follow Ying as she embarks on a desperate journey to find her mother. Born in Bradford to an English mother and a Chinese father, Ying was only a baby when her mother left home, severing all contact with the family. When her father remarried four years later he left Ying alone with her elderly non-English speaking grandmother.

Kimberly has no time for pleasing her parents. She hates school, hates living at home and agreeing to their rules. The only thing that Kimberley does have time for is romance. She has started going out with a pirate DJ, four years her senior, and she thinks he could be the one. But things soon go horribly wrong.

Simon is a wannabe rapper and self-confessed ladies man – “it’s an addiction, I just like girls”. He loves nothing more than hanging out with his school friends to talk about and take part in playground games of love and sex. But the game is about to become a harsh reality for Simon. In four months time his 15-year-old girlfriend, Christine, will give birth to their child.
