Not cool enough, not clever enough, not street enough for anyone to notice me. I was the kid people looked straight through.


NOT ANY MORE. NOT SINCE MR ORANGE.


Sixteen-year-old Marlon has made his mum a promise - he'll never follow his big brother, Andre, down the wrong path. So far, it's been easy, but when a date ends in tragedy, Marlon finds himself hunted. They're after the mysterious Mr Orange, and they're going to use Marlon to get to him. Marlon's out of choices - can he become the person he never wanted to be, to protect everyone he loves?
