Synopsis
A year in the life of a student brings a journey of self-discovery and challenges beyond recognition. Danny travels to London to start a college course, but soon faces dilemmas that spiral out of control. An intimate relationship with a house-mate, Sarah, distracts him from his studies. He learns his Mother is ill and makes an unexpected trip back home. On his return to London Danny discovers his student house has been burgled and his relationship with Sarah becomes strained. Danny turns to drink to help him cope with his now turbulent life. Failing with his studies and keeping his stale relationship with Sarah going, Danny meets Chloe. Danny's relationship with Chloe grows as quickly as his with Sarah fades. Danny's way of life leads to a fork in the road: the wide open path to despair and self-destruction or the narrow lane of struggles and sacrifice. Before the end is nigh, through all his experiences, good and bad, through battling inner demons and trying to come to terms with a painful past, Danny has to decide, is there more to life?
