Uzzy and Jazz, two typical boys in year 9 who spend their time either playing two touch at Cages or arguing about a misplaced pound coin, discover what it means to do the right thing at the wrong time. Rumours go flying as their friendship gets tested in this high stakes, tongue-in-cheek look into the dangers and pitfalls of the ends.
