It should be a fresh start, but he soon discovers his new dad has a twisted idea of fatherhood. Abused and alone he finds freedom, but the runaway is caught and sent to a series of foster homes. He says he's 'the boy from nowhere' but he's still waiting for his mum to take him home. Will he avoid ending up on the streets of London ... and can he ever trust again?
