⚽ Football's just a game. Life isn't.

Birmingham, 1985. Thatcher's Britain. No jobs. No future. Just the beautiful game.

Darren Acheson is a young man on the edge. He's skint, on the dole, and his girlfriend is battling cancer. His beloved football club is circling the drain at the bottom of the First Division, and hope's in short supply on and off the pitch.

Set to the soundtrack of 80s music and the rise of Casual culture, Mister Blue Sky is a raw, passionate portrait of youth, identity, and survival in a city—and a country—on the brink. As Darren navigates terrace violence, council estates, and loyalty to his mates, he must ask himself: Can you stay true to who you are when the world wants to break you?

A gritty, emotional, and authentic tale of love, football, rebellion, and resilience in working-class Britain.

Perfect for fans of Irvine Welsh, John King, and David Peace.
