Crime writer and playwright Denise Mina tells the story of the Greenock Stowaways. In 1868, seven young Scottish boys boarded a ship bound for Canada and endured extreme hardship and cruelty. They suffered at the hands of the crew and faced the terrifying reality of the frozen landscape. This is a different kind of horror story.
