Blake and Reece are sixteen: two boys from two cities, Liverpool and Portsmouth. The tensions of North and South play out as the boys realise their backgrounds may not be so different after all. Blake is lumbered with a baby he never wanted. His dad, Gary, is struggling to cope as a single parent while teaching his son how to face the responsibilities of being a father. Reece has run away from home, hasn't seen his father in years and is slipping into a criminal underworld from which there appears to be no way back. Two mates, one plan and a future where the straight and narrow is an empty road - and coincidentally inspired by the two cities that Boris Johnson, London's new mayor, famously offended! Follow is a touching and gritty drama about fatherhood, friendship and growing up fast.
