Description

It is 1976, the year that was to become recognised as the best among all the years, and the hottest summer on record. Eight young people led by Paul Adams, a dreamer and hopeless nostalgic who yearns for the past even as he basks in a glorious present, embark upon a mission which has no name towards their appointment with a destiny which none can define.

Inspired by the transcendent creativity of Bowie and the seamless lyrical genius of Steve Harley, the fourteen-year-old aircraft spotter, angler and Brentford fan struggles to reconcile his Christian grounding with his visceral desire to control the streets of his Middlesex town by exploiting events as they unfold.

Weaving humility with swaggering braggadocio he rides the age and reaches for the stars. It seems that nothing can stop him and his gang, nor thwart their ambition. But time is waiting in the wings.
