This is a heart-breaking story about a maturing young man, who transforms from a model pupil to a teenager carrying a pocketknife. John McGill turns from a victim into an avenger, from a top pupil into a hooligan, and from an altar boy into a glue-sniffing hoodlum. Finally, when decides to give up his addiction, the here and now and bad things from the past render combining both worlds nearly impossible. Neds is a powerful, shocking, and thoroughly heart-breaking story about growing up, set in the heart of Scotland, in 1970s.
