Neil shivered back to bed where it was still warm under the duvet. And, drifting to sleep, he tried not to think that tomorrow would be the most important day of his life.

Through the tumbling riot, across the wet, black concrete that glistened in the flames, Darren was crawling towards Neil and he still held the knife.

Harpie touched Neil's fingers under the coat and he closed his hand around hers and he had this new feeling…

Neil is a talented young footballer in the rough end of town. Coming from a split home, with an alcoholic dad, life is not very easy. His friends, wannabe anarchists, are out of control. With his sister and the enigmatic Harpie, will Neil manage to keep clear of trouble?

Neil is a story about teenage rebellion in a modern city.
