widowed father (Gary Lewis) and overbearing brother (Jamie Draven), as both men are on strike from their jobs at the mine, and are struggling just to keep food on the table. Their pent up frustrations finally explode when they discover Billy has been squandering his boxing money on less then manly pursuits.

Banned from ballet, and troubled by the diminishing mental capacity of his grandmother (Jean Heywood), Billy finds solace with his school friend Michael (Stuart Wells) which deepens into a touching friendship.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Wilkinson encourages Billy to try out for the royal Ballet School in London, where he can refine his craft while escaping his oppressive surroundings.

But young Billy is torn between his responsibility to his family and to the gift with which he has been blessed.
