In the noisy chaos of 80s Clapham, John navigates life as a young kid learning the ropes in a single-parent household. With a mum who’s doing her best and a mixed group of friends by his side, he explores the ups and downs of year one—complete with his first big crush. But when an attempt to impress goes hilariously wrong, John starts to wonder if he might just be operating on a slightly different frequency than the other kids.
