Two thirtysomethings, unemployed former alcoholic Joe and community health worker Sarah, start a romantic relationship in the one of the toughest Glasgow neighbourhoods.
With the exception of David McKay (Liam), all the members of Joe's football team had no previous acting experience and were local residents, some with previous drug problems.
Sarah Downie:
Get out of my way! Leave me!
Joe Kavanagh:
No. No. No, calm down. Just calm down.
Sarah Downie:
Are you gonna hit me too, Joe?
The reflection of the boom microphone is visible in the television set when Sarah is talking with Sabine at the school.
