Sixteen-year-old Anna is an unremarkable schoolgirl. She does her
homework, and keeps out of trouble. At home she emotionally
supports her depressive mother and occasionally goes out with
friends, but she allows no one to get close. Then Craig Ritchie
storms into her life, and nothing is the same again. Nothing much
happens in Anna's life. She gets on with her school work, helps her
mum and keeps her fellow students at arm's length. That is until
Craig Ritchie arrives, a new boy at school. For reasons she's not
really sure about, Anna tries to befriend him, but finds him
reticent. Then one night Anna is mugged. She tackles her assailant
and is horrified to see it is Craig. In the dark, he hadn't
recognised her. They begin talking, and from here their strange
friendship develops. Craig, or Ritchie, as he prefers, has been
involved in petty crime. He has a gang of friends from his old
school who he still knocks around with and, gradually, Anna gets
pulled into his world. But Ritchie isn't really the bad boy he

and redistribute wealth, rather than just steal for themselves.
Anna thinks of them as latterday Robin Hoods. Their first few jobs
work like a dream and Anna is excited and stimulated by her new
life on the edge. She also realises that she and Ritchie are
falling in love. But then things start to go sour. Anna wants to
stop the scams but Ritchie insists on just one final job, to get
his own back on the father who abandoned him and his mother before
he was even born. But there's something he's not telling her. They
set up the job to steal from Ritchie's dad's house, but when his
father discovers them, it transpires that Ritchie is really there
for a completely different reason - to kill him. And to Anna's
horror, he pulls out a gun ...
