Rummaging through his attic one day, Barney unearths a priceless possession – one that takes him back to his seventies childhood, to his old gang, and far away from his failed marriage and unreachable young son. But when Barney reunites his circle of friends, past jealousies and rivalries begin to surface. Only this time they’re dangerous. Because boys’ games can be cruel, and boys’ games played for adult stakes even crueller . . .
