The Old Oak, a local pub, stands as the last community gathering place in an impoverished town in the north of England – one which never recovered from the demise of the mining industry. Here we meet publican TJ who is struggling to make ends meet. Things change when an influx of Syrian refugees fuels xenophobic backlash across the township, TJ is ready to step up and help the newcomers as best he can, much to the annoyance of some of his regulars.
