They stand there, the five of them looking at the dead man, his blood creeping slowly across the floor. Despite the savagery of his death the room is very silent and almost peaceful. Soon the police will come. They will charge into this nice expensive kitchen in this rather lovely London semi detached house with their boots, their batons, their loud authority and will want to know what happened, whom to hold responsible. It's Dawn who's the first to speak "what will we do" she asks, her teeth chattering with shock."What will we tell them", the seconds drip by until her brother at last replies "we won't be here when they arrive".

Set in 2016 London what happens when a bunch of high school students get caught up in something that could ruin them.
