Northern England, 2004. 16-year-old Mark plays football to stay connected to his late father. But after a teammate’s suicide, the silence around him grows louder. Burdened by a brutal coach and the weight of buried grief, Mark begins to unravel, caught in a game that’s abused him rather than healed him.
