He is quickly seduced deep into a life of crime by his new-found father's wealth and power.Eventually though, Mickey finds himself in a situation where he must choose between saving his family and betraying his father, forced to choose between old loyalties and his new found wealth and security.Set in the grimy, poverty-stricken, north-eastern wasteland of Sunderland, a place of derelict industry, charity shops, and people riding 'benefit chariots' - a town that is ironically currently bidding for the title European City of Culture - comes this YA novel of broken dreams and dead-end families.
