John MacDonald is a four-year-old boy growing up in the slums of Glasgow. John's mother is an addict, who leaves him starving in their flat for days at a time. When a neighbour reports her, John is wrenched away from his family and placed into the care system. There, he has experiences he's too young to understand which his eventual adoptive parents silence as he grows into a gay man within a strict Romani community. But John dreams of being reunited with his mother and will stop at nothing to find her.
