James Coombes is a knowledgeable, confident, outgoing eighteen year-old boy. There's one big problem, he likes a good time. A good time as in, drinking excessively and behaving badly. One might argue that's nothing unusual for an eighteen year old... but you haven't met James Coombes...
Dave and Judith are James' parents. They work hard to cope with rising bills and the general grind of life in the Coombes household. Although James is a only child, he creates enough hassle for about three children.
James has one remaining living grandparent. Geoff, his grandfather. Dave's Dad. Geoff is of the caring sort, he'd do anything for James, that's if James had time for his grandfather. James' parents were struggling to come to terms with the more withdrawn behaviour displayed by James
James has exams coming up in the next couple of weeks, he's in no rush to dust of the textbooks and sit in the library.
Will James live to regret his choices in life?
