Los Angeles, 1985: Ed Valencia is seventeen; he and his crew, the Rats, are marked out by their mohawks as troublemakers – by teachers, by the cops. It is the punk scene they inhabit that has given them sustenance.
Lise Anderson is thirteen, and desperate to be cool – despite the best efforts of her mother. She loves the mall, hot pink lipstick and dangerous-looking boys, but her friends, Trish and Jen, seem to be privy to secrets – about fashion, about sex – that no one will tell her.
And then there is Voyd, known by his family as Boyd, at fourteen a frontline warrior for the revolutionary right.
'Exurbia' tells the story of these three lost souls, and of the intersection and ultimately violent collision of their lives.
