Two boys aged 12, Romeo Brass and Gavin 'Knocks' Woolley, have lived next-door to each other for years in a harsh and poverty-ridden city and are best friends. They share an adventurous attitude and their sense of humour. When they meet Morell, a not-very-successful fantasist, he becomes their hero, certainly after he saves them in a street brawl. They swear together to couple Morell to Romeo's sister Ladine. She agrees reluctantly to a date, but that only has undesirable consequences.
