Fourteen year old Calum Brooks has big dreams. One day, he’ll escape this boring life and write movies, proper ones, with massive budgets and A-list stars.

For now though, he’s stuck coping alone while his dad works away, writing scripts in his head and trying to stay ‘in’ with his gang of mates at school, who don’t like new kids, especially foreign ones.

But when his father invites his new Polish girlfriend and her son, Sergei, to move in, Calum’s life is turned upside down. He’s actually sharing a room with ‘the enemy’! How’s he going to explain that to his mates?

Yet when Calum is knocked down in a hit and run and badly injures his leg, everything changes. Trapped at home, Calum and Sergei slowly start to understand each other, and even work together to investigate a series of break-ins at the local community centre.

But Calum can’t help feeling like Sergei’s hiding something. Is he really trying to help, or cover up his own involvement in the crime?

Calum Brooks, in varsta de paisprezece ani, are vise mari. Intr-o zi, va scapa de aceasta viata plictisitoare si va scrie filme, potrivite, cu bugete masive si vedete din lista A. Deocamdata, insa, este blocat sa faca fata singur in timp ce tatal sau lucreaza departe, scriind scenarii in cap si incercand sa ramana " in „cu gasca lui de colegi la scoala, carora nu le plac copiii noi, in special cei straini. Dar cand tatal sau ii invita pe noua sa iubita poloneza si pe fiul ei, Serghei, sa se mute, viata lui Calum este rasturnata.
