THE STORY

Much like many children in London, Sammy Ritchie has a difficult home life. The walls of his flat feel more like the insides of a carnivore that has swallowed him whole. Even the outside world appears unforgiving, the source of his undoing. But who is the real enemy? The passerby who does nothing to help? The policeman who arrests children for drug abuse? The drug lords who get the children addicted in the first place? Or is the cowardly boy who takes a hit but doesn't hit back? Those questions drag Sam under and he cannot sleep until he answers them all.
