This is the story of Billy and Ricky, two boys who struggle with the complexities of grief and loss. On a bridge near a railway track, their internal conflicts come to a head.
“I just don’t feel anything and I know I should. I know I should be sorry and stuff. But I just feel angry. Everyone says it’s normal and it’s part of the grieving process. But I don’t feel grief I just feel fucking angry!”
