Welcome to Lemonade Estate. A place between the city and the hills, a place that people have forgotten, a place where the kids are running wild.
Community elder, Dennis has had enough of the little demons running round the estate; he decides to take the law into his own hands and transforms himself into vigilante superhero Fly Man
Meanwhile on the other side of the estate we meet Jamal, a boy whose life changes forever after an incident on the back field.
Jamal holds a deep,dark secret...
