Billy gets confusingly entangled in the struggle between what his religious beliefs tell him is right and the nastiness brought out by his need to suck up to his bullying, yobbo mates, whom he seeks both to appease and impress. Steve May has tackled personal morality and aspects of bullying in a realistic, believable way which avoids being preachy and melodramatic. Billy's predicament should strike plenty of chords.
