Our teen film is going to be a drama about a young student (Ashley) who is originally from a "hood" area and has a group of social friends who have the stereotypical "not bothered" outlook on life. Although this character seems like one of these boys, he is actually a dedicated and intelligent student. He is embarrassed about what people will think of him so he keeps it on the down low.
The character lives a double life - one minute he is with the "ghetto" boys doing silly and mischievous things, and the next minute he is being educated in one of the top schools in the country due to his amazing grades in secondary school.
We go through the journey of this young Ash, travelling every week day from the slums of his estate and home to the posh and pristine settings of his new college. Needless to say, he sticks out like a sore thumb from day one, and is quick to gain unwanted attention from the college bully. Will he struggle to live a double life whilst keeping education as a priority but not let people know he is a "boffin" or will it go to shattered pieces?
The opening of the film shows his relationships between his friends and family and how he overcomes trouble, if there is any. We get an introduction to his two lives.
