For 15 year-old Trife, a boy from West London, life is a day-to-day struggle. Trapped between the worlds of his school friends, the girl he loves and the draw of his powerful and dangerous uncle, Trife must choose between the path heknows is right and a life of guns, drugs and violence that he has come to knowonly too well. When a classmate's suicide leaves Trife and his crew with the day off school, the tragedy seems overshadowed by the opportunity to shop, get high, get laid and party - but in a world where sex is currency, drugs are easy and violence is a way of life, trouble can never be too far around the corner.
