Gang leader Spud, who has made regular appearances at Manchester's Magistrates Court. is out for blood as his huge street-art tribute to Manchester United has been defaced with sky blue paint and changed to Manchester City.
Luke's home life is equally troublesome as his stepdad, Damian, is constantly demanding he steals cigarettes. If he doesn't want to be standing in the same dock as Spud, he needs to improve his running skills.
His life is currently going from bad to worse.
