Three homes, two kids, one journey.
Jamie and July are eleven-year-olds living on opposite sides of London – and opposite sides of the tracks. They meet for the first time at Waterloo Station in the last week of the summer holidays. They are both desperate to get away but for very different reasons. July is really worried about her unreliable mum - she needs to get help. Jamie has done something terrible - and left in a panic. Despite their worries, the sun is shining and, as they escape everything they’ve left behind in the heat of the city streets, Jamie and July can’t help but sense adventure in the air.
But running away isn't just harmless summertime fun. What are they really trying to escape? And will either Jamie or July find a place that finally feels like home?
