DIVIDED CITY

A dark stain, spreading...

A young man lies bleeding in the street
It could be any street in any city
But it's not

It's Glasgow, and it's May - the marching season.
The Orange Walks have begun.

Graham doesn't want to get involved, he just wants to play football with his new mate, Joe.
But when he witnesses a shocking moment of violence suddenly he and Joe are involved.
With a young Muslim Asylum seeker and his girlfriend.
With Catholics, and with Protestants.

With all the old rivalries... and fears.
