It's the Silver Jubilee of 1977 and, along with the pomp, it's punk that's in full swing. South of the river, the polyester clad natives are in uproar, the new sights and sounds an affront to their dignity. They don't like the kids with streaks in their hair, and they most certainly don't like the ones with colour in their cheeks. K. is one of those kids, marooned with his family in a sea of hostility. But they're no strangers to adversity, outsiders long before punk. His parents, both refugees, view that as a small price to pay for starting over after the mayhem of Indian Partition. But when bricks start to fly, and threats are made, the long buried demons of the past resurface. And as summer wears on, things will reach a head in a grim local dance of law and disorder. If England was dreaming, it's wide awake now.
