James Locke has recently been released from prison after spending a short term in custody for stealing money from his employer, and has moved his wife, Amy and their two sons, Jake and Ethan to a new district to start a new life.
16 year-old Jake is worried about his younger brother who has fallen in with a bad crowd. Their parents are unaware of the situation and Jake knows they will be devastated if Ethan falls foul of the law, particularly because of James’s own experience and Amy’s ill health, for which they are desperately trying to save the money for an operation.
Jake is determined to keep Ethan out of trouble at all costs, but his warnings about the likelihood of Ryan Brooks and his gang’s antisocial behaviour landing him in big trouble is ignored by Ethan who is in awe of Ryan and will not hear a word said against him.
Jake contrives to infiltrate the gang and become an accepted member whilst plotting to extricate Ethan from Ryan’s evil influence. This proves to be a difficult task as he too becomes embroiled in loutish behaviour and shoplifting. However, when Ryan plans a burglary, Jake realises he must find a way to stop it happening, but without making it public and possibly losing his brother’s respect.
