Brandon Smith-Johnson, a young man from Huddersfield with British,
Romany gypsy and Jamaican heritage, dreams of a successful future
engaging in creativity through writing, photography, art and custom
clothing whilst feeling different to everyone around him. At Leeds
City College he meets Lauren and the pair navigate adolescence and
enter adulthood together. Brandon inhabits many environments across
West Yorkshire from his mother’s house, to Lauren’s family
home, to B&B's home to addicts, to lost youth hostels and to
troubled people hotels. The Crypt, a homeless shelter, is where the
pair live from which trouble and torment follow. They are
relentlessly preyed upon by the lost, criminals and addicts through
manipulation and violence. Lauren and Brandon indulge in drinking
and substances, exacerbating their struggles with mental health as
they become increasingly unstable. They face being stolen from,
overdoses, psych ward stays and arrests based on misunderstandings.
But Brandon finds he can attain a sense of peace by connecting to
nature through camping in the Lake District and when taking a boat
ride by the Swiss Alps. Caught between pursuing escapism and
wanting to break free from pain and poverty to achieve something
meaningful, Brandon realises he must learn what he truly desires,
who he really is, how to take care of himself and how to make life
worth living before it is too late and he loses both the ongoing
battle inside his mind and the relationships in his life.
