About
Bull, Rock and Nut: Two ex-fighters and their manager gather in Luigi's Cafe on the day of Johnny Owen's funeral. Life is an opportunity that hasn't arrived, they begin to talk of heroes and the town that deals hard chances. In Sunshine and in Shadow: Vee's home is a work of art. She lives on the ugliest Council Estate in Europe. Sanctuary is a bed and a family of mis-fits who crowd near to Vee's flame. This is her life. The Redemption Song: Mick is a designer of toys, a dreamer, and a dope-smoker. Bo-Bo and Bunny look after Mick, lend him money, push him drugs. Mick's new toy is worth a fortune, at least a thousand. He owes them.
