Peter Johnson is born in Manchester, after a difficult birth, to his mother Brenda; the fourth son to her and husband, Jim. Unknowingly, his father wished for a daughter. One year later, Jim tells Brenda how he feels, unable to bond closely with their youngest son. So, for the next seven years, she banishes him from their marital bed; until Peter has his eighth birthday. Things change when Brenda becomes pregnant. But tragedy strikes! By 1968, Peter's oldest brother marries; his twin brother also leaves home, taking up their careers as footballers. At just fourteen, his father attacks him in a drunken rage!

What will life be like for him from now on?
