Scrapping on the streets suited Ben Jackman until his past returned to ask a favor. Run, hide or fight?

If only the favor didn’t involve the girl. Ben's world has gone mad. Riots and looting have brought soldiers onto the streets.

Terrorism is the norm. And the man who married his childhood sweetheart, the man he once called a friend, wants him to babysit a long black sports bag.

When his ex-friend is found dead, battered and dumped in the vacant land adjoining Ben's squat, the Law and the owners of the bag invade Ben's world looking to ask questions.

He turns to his childhood sweetheart but that is his first mistake. Losing the bag is his second.

Ben must find the bag, find the killers of his old friend, and live happily ever after with the girl. Alas, two out of three is the best he can hope for.
