Synopsis
Eleven-year-old Evan struggles with the upheavals in his life: his family's separation, his grandad's declining health, and the arrival of his mum's new partner and his daughter. During a school trip to an old Welsh mine where Grandad once worked, Evan becomes intrigued by the pit ponies that toiled underground. As Grandad refuses to discuss his past, Evan is determined to uncover the secrets that have created a rift between them, hoping to bridge the gap before it's too late.
