Plot: It's 1973 in Cemetery Junction, a Reading suburb. Three working class lads, best friends, are coming of age. Freddie wants to rise above his station, taking a job selling life insurance, wearing a suit and tie. Snork works at the railway station and wants a girlfriend some day. Bruce talks of leaving but seems on track to work at a factory, drink and fight, and become like his dad, in front of the telly with beer on hand; and he's trying the patience of the police officer who gets him out of jams. Freddie's job leads the lads toward a few small changes. He runs across a childhood friend, Julie, his boss's daughter who's engaged to the firm's top seller. Can the lads break out?
Alternative Plot: Three bored young men living in the English suburbs strive to create identities for themselves in the stultifying atmosphere of Reading. Bruce (Tom Hughes) is trying to figure out a way to avoid following in the footsteps of his dad, whose dreary existence he finds uninspiring. Snork (Jack Doolan) pines for female companionship, and Freddie (Christian Cooke) is hired to sell insurance and falls for the daughter of his boss. Soon, changes are afoot for the trio--and perhaps better things.
