Yorkshire boy Ellis is at a crossroads. Having finished school and been dumped by the girl he thought was the love of his life, he doesn't know what he wants to do next.
When he accidentally walks into a volunteer position at a hub for adults with mental illness and learning difficulties, Ellis doesn't expect to stay long. But relationships here go deep, and soon Ellis finds himself caught up in a never-ending swirl of friendships, enmities, sexual awakenings, emotional journeys, and cool new music.
Will he survive intact?
