Joyriders is about four Belfast teenagers on a youth training scheme in their devastated city. In charge of them is a conscience-torn supervisor trying to reconcile her middle-class domestic comforts with the dereliction and disorder of the notorious Divis Flats. Gradually class and culture barriers are broken down and the four looks as if in one way or another their friendship and Kate’s understanding will bring them through to fulfilment of at least some of their dreams and ambitions.
