Set in the North East in the early Eighties. Jackie 'Hovis' Brown, a virtual giant of a man, is clinging to the gutter of life. A bully and an enforcer, he was imprisoned for blindly obeying the woman he loved then set free to slide into a life of crime, longing to find true love. His past looks like catching up to him and dragging him down but a twist of fate may yet lead him out the other side.
