Lee hates school. He's not smart, or cool, and what's the point? Lee hates home. His dad is a bully and his mum doesn't seem to care about anything much. And if this isn't bad enough, the toughest gang on Lee's estate has decided Lee would be an asset. He doesn't want to join them but how can he say no? Great. The only place Lee feels he can escape everything is on the roof of his tower block. Then one day he discovers someone else there, invading his sanctuary - someone fascinating, someone Lee can talk to. Suddenly life is full of all kinds of possibilities.
