The Iron Towns. Once the furnace heart of industrial England, now the valley is home only to fading dreams. Twenty years ago, Liam, Dee Dee, Goldie and Mark had life stretching ahead of them: dreams of stardom, young marriages, money in their pockets. None of them can undo what made it all unravel.
