What happens when life forces you to grow up too quickly?

Ash is only thirteen when his father is sent to prison and he’s left to fend for himself. Luckily his dad’s friend Kieran is on hand to distract social services,  and soon Ash has dropped out of school forever, teamed up with other local  teenagers and started to believe he is master of his own destiny. But when his dad’s house begins to fill up with stolen goods and armed gangsters, he  realises Kieran’s help comes with strings attached.

Meanwhile, an ex-copper working as a bouncer for the city’s busiest club gets  caught in the middle of a hostile takeover and is tempted towards joining the  criminal underworld. And a trained Chinese killer falls in love with his target.  As these narratives converge in a spectacular finale, who would bet against  born-survivor Ash, alone in the city, to do the impossible and stay alive? 

A dark new talent, Jake Arnott

the doomed and a meticulous ear for dialogue, Guardian
