It''s 1984. Patricia Vickers returns like a phantom to deliver an unwelcome revelation. Jayne Thornhill is reminded of those spiteful 1960s'' schooldays: bullying, Charlie the skeleton, s├⌐ances, strip poker and sexual encounters with the school''s handymen. Jayne''s confessions have now been whitewashed from lavatory walls, only to be unearthed in a third school friend''s 1969 diary. A cloud of sadness is now cast over the three women''s lives and only by revealing their own stories in later life can they move the stubborn hands of the undertaker''s clock forward. In doing so, something shockingly out of line is revealed ...

It's August 1959 and it's blackberry picking time. 'Lollipop' and 'Living Doll' blare out from the juke box: boys wear natty suits, their hair slicked back in Elvis quiffs; girls are dressed in puffed out skirts - all of them with one thing on their minds ... How far do we go to keep a promise? A back street stabbing changes the lives of five young people forever and promises prove difficult to keep. Blackberry Promises is an evocative exploration of teenage sexuality set in an era which invented the teenager.
