DRINK. SMOKE. LAUGH. SNEAK OUT. SMOKE AGAIN. GET ROBBED ON THE WAY HOME. FIGHT BACK. GET A BUST LIP. MUM ASKS. SAY IT'S AN ACCIDENT.

CREEP OUT AT NIGHT. CLIMB ON THE TRACKS.

GET. UP.

Living round here is like walking a tightrope: at some point, you know you're going to fall. UP is a raw, unflinching work of autofiction about Nash, a teenager trying to find his place amid the chaos of South London. By day he's a schoolboy. By night he's sneaking onto railway tracks, running from fear by courting danger. When a teacher recognises his spark and pushes him to write, encouragement tips into something far more complicated - the lines between trust and desire begin to blur. Caught between intimacy and danger, Nash learns that survival means choosing what kind of man you're willing to become.
