Industry is in decline, streets in decay. Many have left, while those left behind take short-term joy in drugs.

Four young people are among the left behind

Alex consumes heroin to escape his abusive father. Jim hides from guilt after the death of the friend he didn't save. Chelsi's brother killed a local boy, pushing her towards a rival gang and prostitution. Danny thinks he's in control but needs protection from the drug gang that supplies him.

Can they turn their lives around?

Author, Paul Linggood, has lived the life he writes about. He's seen friends live and die on the streets. Every character is detailed with gut-wrenching realism.

Gripping from beginning to end, this is a powerful novel written by an author who knows how to grab his audience.
