Drugs, alcohol, crime, Jack does it all. He scares his teachers; he would scare his friends if he had real friends. When an armed robbery goes wrong and Jack is caught, he's given one more chance to figure out who he really wants to be. When he is sent away to await trial, Jack is separated from everything he once thought defined him.
The man who takes him in swears more than anyone Jack has ever met. Brusque, cold and strict, Steve Gerrard is a retired paratrooper who lives with his dog, Sam, miles from another human.
Set in the Scottish Highlands, 'Jack' is a novel about second chances, self-reflection and change.
