Garry Fraser

After 20 years abroad, Mark Renton returns to Scotland and reunites with his old friends Sick Boy, Spud and Begbie.

Through a series of hypnotic interviews with Dr. Kelly Robertson, Declan reluctantly revisits the traumatic events that led to the fateful night. As memories resurface, we witness their tumultuous childhood marked by countless encounters with the law. Unraveling in flashbacks, we see the McGuire siblings navigating a world of petty crimes and rebellion, laughing off the consequences that seemed inevitable. However, the story takes an unexpected turn when a pandemic-induced lockdown thrusts them into a whirlwind of desperation and fear. On a desolate country road, they encounter Ian Hamilton, a figure from their past who only adds to the tension.

Garry Fraser was born into a family of poverty, violence and alcohol addiction on Edinburgh's notorious Muirhouse estate, the same place that inspired the world-acclaimed film, Trainspotting. In this documentary, filmmaker Garry Fraser takes us to the heart of the poor, marginalized community he grew up in. Garry faces up to the damage done by his life of crime, violence and drugs as he works to ensure that his three children have something he never had: a loving, supportive family. Garry found his path out of addiction through poetry and film-making.
