Follows character Amari who is heading to the local park with her friends to play football. When they arrive all the goals are taken so Harry suggests the local rail yard where his older brother and mates always go. Unsure of the situation, Amari continues to the rail yard with the group.

On route, there are multiple examples shown of how the friends are being unsafe near the road which get called out and addressed. Once they arrive the group start playing but Amari hangs back, voicing her doubts and potential dangers. The group continue. A kick lands the football on the track, but before the friend moves to retrieve it, a train blazes through the yard and destroys the ball. Shocked and scared they apologise to Amari and promise never to return.
