Summary:

Sullen, defiant Colin refuses to follow his dying father into a factory job, railing against the capitalist bosses and preferring to make a living from petty thieving. Arrested for burglary and sent to borstal, Colin discovers a talent for cross-country running, earning him special treatment from the governor and the chance to redeem himself from anti-social tearaway to sports day hero.
