Two childhood friends reunite in their working-class town

Abz and Sid are two old friends who are meeting up after not having seen one another in a while. They were childhood friends in the north of England, but now their lives have diverged. Sid has given up on his dreams of making music and now works in the shop run by his dad. But Abz went away to college, interviewing for jobs near London and generally moving up in the world. They chat and catch up, which only makes clear how much they've grown apart and how they feel about it. Those differences only become starker when they get into an altercation later in the night, and their different ways of handling it only increase the gulf between them.
