Publisher's Synopsis

Stanley feels as if his life is spinning out of control. His parents' marriage is breaking up and he can't communicate with them. His friend Jared introduces him to 'the game' - the rules are simple: to break into an occupied house and steal a tokenobject from the bedroom where the owners are sleeping. Stanley knows it will end in disaster but it is the only thing that makes him feel alive. Then the beautiful Sky offers him a more normal life which, as Jared dies, Stanley realises is possible.
