  Fifteen year old Ross is tough, bright and into 'organized' fighting. He's the leader of a gang called The Judges, named after the book of Judges in the Old Testament of the Bible. The Old Testament is Ross's favourite read, which may sound odd if you haven't read it, but it's packed full of blow by blow accounts of classic battles, and that's what Ross really likes: the strategy, planning the attack - especially when it's against supporters of rival football teams. Things start to change when Ross inadvertently finds himself involved with a local Christian organization, and begins to question some of his beliefs. But, faced with violence at home and blood lust amongst his friends, it seems that it will take more than a bit of goodwill from a few do-gooders to take him from his path of violence and self-destruction.
