In post–World War II Scotland, a seven-year-old boy should be walking to school. Instead, he’s shipped off to Australia.
Trapped in a world of anger and violence with nowhere to turn, young Johno clings to the hope that a policeman might help him. But life has other plans.
Decades later, after years of denial by governments and cover-ups by institutions, Johno begins to uncover the truth about his past – and the web of lies that shaped his childhood.
A journey marked by cruelty and kindness, love and war and above all, the enduring strength of the human spirit.
