There's been a murder on the Ridge Estate. Ricky's been thrown from the top of a high ris - Stevie's high rise.
What's going on? Stevie doesn't know any more. His mum's back on the bottle. His dad's got a new girlfriend. He loves Tish - he ought to, she's his girfriend - but then there's Alfia, Carlton's sister, churning him up with those gorgeous brown eyes...
And Carlton - they haven't seen much of each other lately. Not sinc the skinheads in the corridors. The fights in the park. The anonymous leaflets through the letter-boxes the leaflets with the swastikas...And it's so hot...sometimes Stevie feels like the whole place is going to explode...
