When Alec MacKay escapes his Ayrshire mining town he discovers there are some things from which you just can't run. It's 1987 and breaking ranks with the hostile attitudes of his mining community and estranged father, Alec MacKay joins the police. He is posted to Glasgow where he encounters a world of violence, deprivation and sectarianism. Alienated from his old life and struggling for acceptance in the new, Alec fights to win over the tight knit group he's assigned to, until a shocking discovery forces him to break ranks once again. .. The Corsairs is a coming of age story. It tells the story of a young man forced to deal with the estrangement between himself and his father and the culture shock of becoming a police officer in a violent deprived community in 1980's Glasgow. Set against a backdrop of sectarianism, the heroin epidemic and a Scotland undergoing profound change in the era of Thatcher economics, this is a tale of resilience and the roles that family and friendship play in a turbulent world.
