    The teenage Shaun has acute dyslexia and is expelled from school after fracturing another boy's skull. During an exam at 16, he makes a mess of the paper, is thrown out, and crushes his own hand in a vice. Shaun and Daz break into the school premises and start a fire. When the police arrive, they give chase, and Daz is thrown off his bike, causing him to be paralysed.

    In the present, Shaun tracks down Katy to inform her of Daz's worsening condition. Daz dies. Shaun tells Daz's teenage son Daniel, who reacts angrily. The three of them revisit the lake where Shaun, Katy and Daz spent the summer.
