Set in the UK in the mid seventies of the last century. It hopes to achieve a range of responses from the reader. It is a cautionary tale littered with dilemmas dealing with minority group issues. This story portrays a varied array of plausible reflections of how society reacts to‘people who are different.’ The abuse or failed inaction and denial of those bound with a duty of care and the many hidden horrors of being a victim to the system are released on almost every page. This piece is about human reaction to what we would rather ‘sweep under the carpet’ when dealing with the open sores left seething in our society to the needs of its more vulnerable members. The author deliberately steers away from any political statement and deals with the living dangers of indifference and in a naturalistic way hopes to capture the power and of emotion and the human spirit. Its five central characters are introduced in the first five chapters as thumbnail sketches of themselves. A preview of each character with reference to their traits and history set the stage as to the 'social’ mix of the individual characters build and become key to the storyline. A group of five teenagers in their last term at school take part in a pilot media study as part of their curriculum. They embark on what is team effort to make a short film that they would produce and direct. The thread of the story is interwoven with each personal struggle. Extreme flaws in how society ignores the plight of oppressed groups are left open to scrutiny to the reader. Events of romance and sex happen occasionally within the storyline. In their quest they uncover a dirty secret of the school hierarchy and expose their tyranny. Desperation, frustration, thoughts of suicide, drug abuse, and self-harm are highlighted, and the effects of what hallucinations and paranoia, feel like to those afflicted, who have less than privileged backgrounds. Metaphysical, esoteric paranormal experiences are spattered throughout.
