“Dicono che a diciotto anni non sai niente. Ma ci sono cose che sai a diciotto anni e che non saprai mai più.” Glasgow, estate 1986. Tra il carismatico Tully e il sensibile James, detto Noodles, c’è un legame fortissimo, un’amicizia fondata sulla musica, sui film, su un comune, luminoso spirito ribelle. Insieme agli amici Tibbs, Limbo e Hogg partono per un finesettimana destinato a non tradire le attese: andranno a Manchester, dove ci sono negozi di dischi, locali, un festival da leggenda, musica dappertutto (e alcol, e altro). Sono anni lividi, il grande sciopero dei minatori è un ricordo recente, vivere in provincia vuol dire rischiare di non andarsene mai. James, che ama i libri, e Tully, operaio saldatore, si promettono una cosa: che la loro vita sarà diversa. Trent’anni dopo squilla il telefono a casa di James..
