When Toni’s twelfth birthday is marred by a terrible crime, the wicked path of the girls looks set.

And the whole family are expected to help. His sister Toni shares her brother’s blood lust but Valerie dreams of a quieter life, and when she meets and falls in love with Seb, as straight as Frankie is bent, as kind as Frankie is wicked, Val sees her way out.
