Narrative

 The narrative will be based around a young 16 to 18 year old boy who lives in London. Living with next to nothing, due to the family being on benefits, this has results in where he lives and the environment he has grown up in. Not knowing where or who to turn to, due to the stale lifestyle he lives, he mixes up with the wrong crowd. In the end this will be his downfall, and a young bright boy would mess up his life by introducing him to crime. This story line has been agreed between me and my other produces, As it is just an idea at the moment it might change when creating the piece.

Background story A young woman gets pregnant after a drunken night with a man. This sudden change in her life forces her to drop out of her course at university and pushes her to get a job as a cleaner. The small income that comes in from the cleaning job only allows her to rent a small apartment in South London. Once her son is born, she turns to drugs and alcohol because of the life she now lives and the life she could of had. 

As the boy grows up he has very little education due to his mum not paying for pre-school or nursery and skipping school with his friends. He watches his mum (on a daily basis) high or drunk. Little money comes into the family and the young boy turns to other means of getting money, crime.
