Timmy is a shy, very intelligent and naive boy from the Deptford neighborhood, who goes to school in Peckham, the place where he begins a friendship with Marco, a very charismatic and very street boy who lives in the local area. Despite the differences that loom over the two protagonists, Timmy and Marco quickly form a loyalty until they finally end up on two rival sides in the middle of a street war.
