Spoilers ahead
Tom Heath, Nicholas Galitzine is a withdrawn teenager in South London who lives with his single mother, Mary Lisa Dillon. He dreams of becoming a rock musician, but school life is crowded with bullying—especially from his rival Damien James Tarpey—and he defensive hides his passion from Mary, who disapproves of music because her estranged husband’s failed career as a musician is still a painful memory. Tom carries the weight of loneliness, the sting of isolation, and the old wounds of self-harm, which he tries to manage by strumming the guitar he loves.
