Ironopolis

Stranded on the outskirts of Ironopolis — nickname to a lost industrial Middlesbrough — the Burn Council Estate is about to be torn down to make way for regeneration. For the future ...

But these streets know many stories, some hide secrets …

Jean holds the key to the disappearance of a famous artist … Jim's youth is shattered during the euphoric raves of '89 … A brutal boyhood prank scars three generations of Frank's family … Corina's gambling addiction costs her far more than money … And Alan, a man devastated by his past, unravels the darkness of his terrifying father, a man whose shadow has loomed large over the estate for a lifetime.

And then there is the ageless Peg Powler, part myth, part reality: why is she stalking them all?

'Human nature? Class politics? Whatever it was, it wasn't us … Deep down we were part of a whole, single energy, and all we had to do was be ready to sink down together.'
