- Synopsis
- Creep finds a dilapidated boat on the canal, climbs aboard and journeys downstream, in the hope of leaving his troubled family life behind. Strangely enough, he travels back in time in the middle of the nineteenth century, to a world where children work long, dangerous hours in coal mines and cotton mills. In the present day, Creep's half brother, the only one who ever cared for Creep, is anxiously searching for him.
