It's 1959 and young Jim MacLaine seems to have it all. He's good looking and destined to go to a good university.

But he's haunted by the father who abandoned him and his mother when he was small.

Is he ready for the normal life mapped out for him? Or is he restless like his old man?

Written by Ray Connolly, based on the 1973 hit film.
