Jack returns to his empty childhood home seeking a quiet life but is instead thrust into an epic battle to help save his neighbour Tom from his drug addiction. Amid a cycle of violence and desperation, Jack falls in love with Tom's sister Amy - an old friend - and the two discover a special bond as they nostalgically reflect on the past and bravely confront the future. Tom Climbs the Fence is a revealing story of one man's struggle to regain his life, told by someone witnessing - and living - his pain. It is a raw insight into addiction and its devastating effects, and the courage and love needed to fight it.
