The gun is the coward's fist. The gun is power.
Alex and Ethan are growing up on an estate where there are just two choices: sport or crime.
Ethan is selected for a football training programme in the US, his chance to escape the gangs that terrorise his neighbourhood. But Alex is drawn into an explosive feud with a gun at its heart.
In this gripping and absorbing real life thriller, Alan Gibbons explores the complex issue of gun crime, and the far reaching consequences it can have.
