When you're running the streets, loyalty is everything...Gangs rule
the streets of the rough Gallowburn Estate in Glasgow, but the
deepest rivalry of all is between Jamie Gray and his friends, known
as the Blood Brothers, and their enemies, the Lawsons. The two
gangs clash frequently, but when a phone containing incriminating
evidence disappears after a particularly brutal run-in, the stakes
are higher than ever. Jamie's mother Jackie is as hard as nails and
is not going to let anyone hurt her boy - even if she has to roll
up her sleeves and get stuck in. What she wants more than anything
though, is to see Jamie turn his back on the street life. And when
he meets spoilt rich-girl Allegra, who has a penchant for
shoplifting, Jackie thinks she could be Jamie's way out. But with
the Lawsons closing in, and everyone taking sides, there is only
one way out for Jamie, and to triumph he must take out his biggest
enemy... If you love Martina Cole, Kimberley Chambers, and Jessie
