Description
Description
Working-class teenager Colin is arrested for robbing of a bakery, and is detained in a reform school. The Governor of the school takes a keen interest in Colin, but he cares less for his rehabilitation than his gifts as a broken-field runner. Colin finds himself torn between the need to please his captors and his determination not to play along with what he sees as a corrupt system.
