My Feral Heart
Synopsis
A sudden bereavement forces Luke, a fiercely independent young man with Down syndrome, into a daunting new environment where he finds unexpected support from Eve a feisty, streetwise carer, and Pete, a complex local lad dealing with his own demons. Luke’s search for solace leads to an encounter with a desperate young girl in need of help. While friendships bloom, long-buried secrets are revealed, and Luke verges dangerously close to disaster.
