[edit] Story line

A young man lies bleeding in the street It could be any street in any city but it's not...

It's Glasgow, and it's May - the marching season. The Orange Walks have begun.

Graham doesn't want to get involved, he just wants to play football with his new mate, Joe. But when he witnesses a shocking moment of violence suddenly he and Joe are involved. With a young Muslim Asylum seeker and his girlfriend. With Catholics, and with Protestants.

With all the old rivalries... and fears.
