Synopsis

When Ray sees a motorbike with its engine running he can't resist the temptation. He’s not a thief, he’s an ordinary kid – it’s just a joy ride, a moment of madness, a joke. But on a dark road he crashes and kills an old woman. No one sees the accident, there is nothing to link Ray to the death, so he runs. But he can’t run away from the memory of what he has done. He tries to get on with life - there is the excitement of being in the football team and of falling in love for the first time, but all the while he fears that the police are closing in.
