Britain, 1958: Restless at school and bored with his life, Jim McLain (David Essex) leaves home to take a series of low-level jobs at a seaside amusement park. With the help of his new friend Mike (Ringo Starr), he soon discovers a wild world of cheap sex and petty crime. But when that world comes to a shockingly brutal end, Jim returns home to face his future. As the local music scene explodes, Jim must decide between the life of adult responsibility or a new phenomenon called Rock & Roll. (official distributor synopsis)
