He's seventeen and can't figure out where he fits in, or what his future might hold, but he hopes one day to meet someone he can share his ideas with, his doubts, and his dreams. Then again, he's shy, and the girls in this neighborhood aren't his type. Jamie lives in a part of town where graffiti is splashed on walls, not as folk art, but as an expression of anger by those unlucky enough to live there. Until now, though, he's managed to fly under the radar of the local gangs. When he spots some money lying on the floor of the grocer, Jamie stuffs it into his pocket and heads to the fairground to have some fun.
