A sus quince años, Mungo, un adolescente con una sensibilidad diferente al resto de los chicos del vecindario, vive en un barrio obrero del Glasgow de la era post-Thatcher, en el seno de una familia protestante: sin padre, con una madre alcohólica y un hermano que representa todo lo que él odia. En un ambiente masculinizado, rodeado de paro y peleas callejeras, solo cuenta con el apoyo y el cuidado de su hermana, Jodie. Tras un altercado familiar, su madre decide enviar a Mungo de pesca con dos desconocidos de Alcohólicos Anónimos para que hagan de él un hombre de provecho.

Born under different stars—Mungo a Protestant and James a Catholic—they should be sworn enemies if they’re to be seen as men at all. Their environment is a hyper-masculine and sectarian one, for gangs of young men and the violence they might dole out dominate the Glaswegian estate where they live. And yet against all odds Mungo and James become best friends as they find a sanctuary in the pigeon dovecote that James has built for his prize racing birds.

Glasgow, 1981. A cidade está morrendo. A pobreza, aumentando. A esperança, desaparecendo. Agnes Bain sempre esperou por mais. Ela sonhava com coisas grandiosas: uma casa com entrada particular, uma vida confortável. Quando seu segundo marido, um taxista mulherengo, sai de casa, ela e os três filhos se veem presos em uma cidade mineradora dizimada pela política da então primeira-ministra Margaret Thatcher. Enquanto Agnes se entrega cada vez mais ao álcool em busca de conforto, seus filhos tentam salvá-la. Porém, um a um, vão desistindo porque precisam salvar a si mesmos.

Für die hypermaskuline Welt der Arbeiterviertel im Glasgow der 90er Jahre ist Mungo zu hübsch und zu sanft. Sein Bruder Hamish, gefürchteter Bandenführer, will ihn zum Mann machen und schleift ihn zu den brutalen Kämpfen zwischen Protestanten und Katholiken – nur wer hart genug ist, kann hier überleben. Dann trifft Mungo auf James und mit ihm kann er sein, wie er ist. Mit ihm lernt er ein Begehren kennen, das geächtet ist, das ihn mit Scham erfüllt, aber auch mit Glück, das er selbst vor seiner Schwester Jodie verleugnen muss, mit der er sonst alles teilt.

Shuggie ist anders, zart, fantasievoll und feminin, und das ausgerechnet in der Tristesse und Armut einer Arbeiterfamilie im Glasgow der 1980er-Jahre, mit einem Vater, der virile Potenz über alles stellt.
