Since dropping out of school three years ago, Jamie Skelton spends most of his days asleep and most of his nights playing video games with his online friend, Lee. He hasn't left the house in months, and now he's not sure he can.

Fiona, Jamie's maw, is trying her best, but since finding the courage to kick out her abusive husband, her confidence has never recovered. She knows their lives can't carry on like this, but the more Fiona tries to reach Jamie, the further away he seems to get.

Jamie thinks he's discovered an answer to his problems. A community who understands him. They're called incels.

And when a chance arises for Jamie to go to London and meet his new friends, Fiona must find a way to reconnect with her son before he is lost for ever.
