Summary

Kenny Silvers is on the fast track to becoming a pure-blooded punk rebel. It all seems so easy when he’s breaking every rule at school to the point of finding himself expelled. But that’s the point, he doesn’t belong to our system, rules are made to be stomped on and demolished. Everyone likes a bad boy, right?

Punk is his creed, his calling, something he fully embodies. He’s smoking it up, he’s drinking and partying, and he’s loving life while his best friend Eddie supports his addictions, lifestyle, and has his own crib to crash in with no adult supervision.

Then, it all changes. He’s becoming criminal, he’s becoming something dark and desperate, he’s fallen between the cracks, and redemption seems a far way off. It’s one thing to embrace the creed, but now he’s lost everything. He’s gone from a kid just having a lark, riding the gravy train until it all becomes sordid and sour, with no way out. Okay, maybe one. But just one.

Sometimes the rite of passage to becoming an adult is nothing you imagined it would be.
