Plot summary

Growing up in early 80s London, filmmaker Bill Watts lost contact with his teenage friends after their cocaine and heroin habits spiralled out of control. A brutally exposing letter on a friend's Facebook page was the catalyst for Bill to reconnect with his old friends who agree to take part in this film, and in doing so, shed light on the horrific secret that has haunted their lives. None of them had ever discussed their trauma, not even with each other, until now.
