- Fiction, Juvenile delinquents, Drug addicts, Criminals
There is Bobbie, out knocking off vending machines, stealing car stereos, sliding perilously through life shooting speed - and eating whatever pill comes his way. And then he meets Mel, who knows things - like how to crack a safe, the best way to set up bogus checking accounts, the fine art of cutting through walls and ceilings.
