Adapted from the multi award winning novel by Jonathan Trigell Boy A is a powerful coming-of-age drama that raises difficult questions about the morals of our times.
Boy A is a fictional drama centred around a young man called Jack (Andrew Garfield - The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, The Other Boleyn Girl). When he was young Jack was invloved in the murder of a child and as such has spent most of his youth in juvenile prisons.
Released from prison into an unrecognizable adult world, Jack is given a new name, new job, new home
a new life. But anonymity is both a blessing and a curse as Jack has to contend with not being able to tell the people he gets to know, and love, of his true past and the monstrous secret he must keep hidden.
