Fifteen-year-old Dillon thought he was free. He had family, friends, and a strong religious community. But when a secret threatens to blow up his life, Dillon runs away. Little does he know of a world much larger than he ever imagined. Starting out on a bike, he finds his way to Sydney, a city of dreams ... and nightmares.
Needing money to survive, Dillon is lured to The Wall where strangers pay for young, pretty boys. Accepting his fate in the urban jungle, Dillon forges new friendships in a scene he can barely comprehend. Yet for every new friend there are enemies, not least a mysterious killer targeting vulnerable young men. Faced with decisions well beyond his years, Dillon must choose who to help, or who to defy.
In a race against his past, Dillon faces pitfalls that threaten his very life. And yet if he remains hidden until he's eighteen, he might find the one thing that truly matters - the freedom to be anything he wants.
