Description

People can buy your silence, but not your loyalty
Macy Taylor was born in the shadow of Tavistock Square, at the heart of her Manchester estate. Its got a reputation as a place where bad things happen. But its kept her secrets and shes kept its code of silence.

If you need something sorting, or want something you cant get anywhere else no questions asked then you go to the Square. But everything in life comes at a price.

Leanne Taylor is seventeen she doesnt understand why her mother wants her to keep clear of the life she led as a teenager. Leannes got dreams, but they dont come cheap and the only people with money and power she knows are the boys and men that make their deals in the alleys and dark corners of the Square.

For mother and daughter, its time to work out what they really care about, how fiercely theyll fight to protect it, and what theyll do when one day, the trouble theyve worked so hard to outrun comes right to their own front door
