A troubled boy (Steven Mackintosh) endures physical abuse by the staffers at a children's home.

15-year old-Davey Younger (Daniel Parker) is sent to Glenavon care home for boys in Wales where he is subjected to sexual abuse by two of the staff and a visiting magistrate. The adult Davey (Steven Macintosh), married with children, is approached by television journalist Elaine Hughes (Jaye Griffiths) after sympathetic councilor Tony Collins (Richard Harrington) has ordered an investigation into the historic abuse but Davey is reluctant to dig up the past that he has kept from his girlfriend (Lynn Hunter). Arrests are made but Davey is convinced that any allegations against the magistrate will not be believed. However, he agrees to testify against the magistrate in court, though the result is not to everybody's advantage, and results in tragedy.—don @ minifie-1
