A feature film adaptation is currently under commission for The First Film Company.
The world premiere of a new play. In the suburbs of South London, Jack moves to a new school where he is confronted by aggression, violence and anger. He dreams that time would speed up and hurry by, but then he meets Jamie. And suddenly she makes him wish time could just slow down and stop. An emotionally charged, bruising yet tender story of the journey of a year in the life of a fifteen year old boy.
