A sixteen-year-old tormented Belfast youth finds temporary solace escaping the home
violence only to find violence outside it.
Glasgo, tired of a disenfranchised home, seek the company of his friends in an east Belfast riot
at the time of looming civil war between the protestant loyalists and Irish republicanism. With
naivety and boundless energy he goes off to have what most youths from the Irish divisions in
the seventies wanted, risk and devil may care attitude skirting the perimeter of the powerful
paramilitaries/vigilantes. But soon our trio is banged-up [imprisoned] when they find not all things are kosher with some disguised antagonists.
Character Profile.
Glasgo is a sixteen-year-old typical male youth. He is not enjoying life at home. Parents are
not in touch with their children's emotional or psychological requirements. This bares out on
their attitude to them and increasingly makes Glasgo yearn for a sense of belonging and then
excitement. He is lanky and feeling inadequate as a young male who wishes he had the
the physique of some of his new peers. So, could it be, his parents are less inclined to love a son born to another woman. A Catholic woman.
