Thirteen year-old Rey (‘Raze’) Tanic is the youngest some of Dejan Tanic, the self-styled ‘King of Sydney’, a feared crime boss, currently locked up in the Deep Cut Correctional Centre. It is expected of Raze that he will soon join his elder brother Solo in the family business. However, Raze has other plans and, during a visit to his father in prison, tells him exactly that. To Raze’s surprise, his father doesn’t react. That’s because Dejan Tanic has more pressing worries which thrust Raze into a media feeding frenzy and a rapidly escalating turf war. His only respite in an increasingly tense and scary situation are his friends Candy Cooper and Ids McLafferty, the two other members of MCT, Raze’s graffiti ‘crew’. |
