A hard-edged story about a group of disaffected teens who turn to crime in order to get the things they want. But can they handle the consequences?
Trick is fifteen and growing up in a dead-end Devon town. Because of how he looks, Trick stands out, attracting unwanted attention. He is also smart, but knows better than to let his friends realise this.
