For Mark, Folk was always more than a youth club. It was home. A space to grow up, mess up, and stand by his tribe. Then the mysterious ‘Jason’ turns up and Mark’s world goes into freefall. A summer of heartbreak and hedonism culminates in a wild camping trip, where it’s not just ideals that get abandoned.

In the aftermath emerges an unflinching portrait of teenhood, masculinity and memory as underground culture collided with establishment control, and a generation fought to define itself.

Coming at a time when youth clubs continue to close and our societies are more polarised than ever, FOLK is historical fiction that speaks to today's anxieties around identity and what it means to belong.
