Teenager David (Nicholas Hoult: X-Men, About A Boy) falls in love for the first time and life couldn't be better. The only fly in the ointment is his brother, Ben, who has Down Syndrome. The family's world revolves around Ben's needs while David's are unwittingly neglected by their parents. When they decide to move the family from London to "the back of beyond" for the sake of Ben's education, David's world is shattered. His antipathy for Ben grows to the point where he decides to get rid of him once and for all . Winner of the RADAR People of the Year Human Rights Media Award.
