Opis

Franky never had a chance. Taken into care aged four with his twin sisters after one 'accident' too many, he's adopted by a childless couple in Devon. It should be a fresh start, but his new father has other ideas. Abused and miserable, Frankie finally finds freedom - but at a price. And it doesn't last long.
