Friends, Julie and Marilyn individually depict their long and painful struggle to overcome their sons Heroin addictions. The fight which spanned over a decade, took them to some of the darkest places they never knew existed. Both homely with family values and morals, they found themselves mixing in a world of unsavoury characters and drug dealers. It was the late 1990's and just prior to the explosion of a user epidemic. Alone and frustrated their tenacity kept them going, never losing sight of the one common denominator to 'get them right'. Scott and Stephen, born with faces of innocence and raised on a council estate, had the world at their feet and every opportunity of a bright future. However nobody could have predicted the path they would go down when reaching their late teens.... Against the backdrop of the harrowing catalogue of events that occurred, seeping through is support, love and unity. Also explored are the different methods of treatment, giving an insight into rehabilitation. Grazed upon are the Twelve Steps and Scientology. For an added dimension Australian born Julie tells of her idyllic childhood in the raw outskirts of 1960's Melbourne. Marilyn, on the other hand was brought up in Reading, knowing only a very simple existence. The writers have delved deep into their backgrounds to identify whether a connection from their past led to their sons' addictions.
