The complaint is always the same: compared to the schooldays he and Gareth shared, adulthood s just rubbish. Then, much to his surprise, a bit of excitement enters Dan s life: he witnesses a crime. Better still, the perpetrator is none other than Tony Dear, a mean and dangerously dozy thug who used to bully Dan at school. Naturally, Dan s first instinct is to blackmail him. But when this doesn t pay off, Gareth starts exerting his Childish influence and another plan is formed. A bold plan. An exciting plan. An irretrievably stupid plan. That ends very badly...
