Meet Martyn Pig. A boy caught in a miserable world whose life just got worse. Trapped by events following a single, shocking accident, he makes a decision with breathtaking consequences.

And Alex. Talented and ambitious, she's his only friend, an older girl with wild dreams and a foolhardy streak of recklessness.

Witness the mounting craziness as things spiral in out of control in moments of mind-numbing confusion, powerful drama, tenderness and humour.

And nothing will prepare you for the last surprise. It's a story you won't forget.
