Follows 'Brixton Rock'.
Biscuit feels like his life is running out of control. He needs to sort himself out fast but how? Biscuit and Coffin Head hustle on the front line for Nunchaks. He wants to give it up but he also needs to support his family - his mother, his sister, Denise and his brother, Royston. He knows he should be looking for a job, Carol tells him that every time they meet.
Perhaps he should listen to Jah Nelson, who tells him that education is the key. But Biscuit has chosen a bad time to sort himself out: Brixton is angry - tempers are high and ready to burst and, worst of all, Denise has just caught the eye of Nunchaks. As the riots begin, Biscuit has to make a choice, whatever the consequences, that will change his life forever.
'East Of Acre Lane' is a searing account of a young man's attempt to do the right thing, set against a backdrop of one of the most explosive moments in London's history.
