A cleverly constructed narrative that reveals three points of view: those of Gary, constantly victimised by the school bully in a nasty, name-calling and vindictive way, the bully's friend David, and a new girl to the school, Zoe.
Gary reveals the painful and often unsuccessful attempts by a young man to control his anger under great provocation - and his inability to communicate.
David reveals someone who is uncomfortable with the bullying but doesn't dare to do anything about it - until the end.
Zoe reveals a young woman who can see Gary through different eyes and is independent, freethinking and brave.
