Josh is a fourteen year-old boy living in a world where the global economic recession has led to money being devalued. Three days ago, his parents went out for supplies, leaving him and his older brother, Archie, behind. They haven't returned. A gang of looters has ransacked their house and set it on fire. The last thing their dad told them was to get to their nan's if there was any trouble. The boys decide their current situation looks like trouble. 

Setting out onto the streets of London, the boys quickly learn what a world looks like when capitalism has failed. 

It isn't pretty.
