Older, wiser and more confident, life is going well for Donny, 17. He’s a former gang member who’s escaped a brutal life of criminal exploitation. He and his best friend Zoe plan a day trip to France ahead of their sixth form exams. After a fun morning in Calais, they’re about to return to the port when they see a boy, Amin, being attacked. Streetwise Donny chases the man off. Wanting to help Amin reunite with his family in Britain, Donny and Amin swap clothes, and Zoe drives Amin with Donny’s passport to the Eurotunnel terminal to take him to Folkestone.

After all, what could possibly go wrong? All Donny has to do is lie low at the park until Zoe’s return. But, lost in France and arrested as an

‘illegal’ migrant, he must rely on the help of unaccompanied teenage refugees, living rough in the dunes east of Calais to survive. Can Donny use his boat skills to cross the busiest shipping channel in the world and make it home in time?
